I believe this still may be a bit incorrect. I thought the basic computation was based upon the amount of people that are actually receiving Unemployment Checks.

Because if you think about it... if you don't have a job and you aren't looking for one... then something is up. [] Whether your a trust fund kid, a bum, or just retired. [^]

Many people are "out of work and can't find a job....and are not receiving Unemployment benefits" I just don't think that these people are counted in the actual reported rate by the state.

It makes the "State" look good if they can report that "unemployment" is not happening that much here.

Remember, the "State" makes money by drawing people to the State... whether it's tourists or people that move here from the mainland for good. []

Someone please correct me though if I'm wrong.
