You will often see in a newspaper or on television, "The unemployment rates are down/up ........ %". What you will never hear about is the fact that unemployment rates are based on unemployment claims. Claims that are open or active. So, when someone's unemployment runs out, they would actually help show that unemployment is down. Why people are not actually polled for their employment status who were previously on unemployment is puzzling.
