Yup. And if your unemployment *benefits* run out, but you're still looking for work, you're not unemployed.
And, when we did the census long form, I discovered that it was written so that housewives would be in the category of not-employed-not-looking-for-work. I had to write in housewife (even tho it's one of Americas top jobs, if not THE top job, percentage-wise)
Back in the day, Reagan altered unemployment levels on paper & in the press by changing the military to "employed" all of the sudden (they had previously been uncounted).
