The United States government only keeps you "unemployed" for six months, whether or not you find a job. The Labor Department (BLS) reports that an additional 300,000 workers fell out of the labor pool (an average monthly share throughout 2003.) ........................................ Have you been called by the Bureau for its monthly survey? Statistically speaking we should all receive a call from them at some point. Don't hold your breath. thinkandask.com This is right: "The unemployment data derived from the household survey in no way depend upon the eligibility for or receipt of unemployment insurance benefits." bls.gov
