>That's a red herring. We use "unemployment rate" as the basic measure of unemployment. Have done so for many, many years.

Normally, the two rates track each other closely. There's a divergence here, and there's a reason for it. One would expect that when there are lots of people who have been unemployed for a long period of time.

That's certainly the case now, and that's why the percentage of people out of the workforce matters.
