re: "augmented unemployment?" Good grief.
Before you get too cranky about it, it's a term that was devised by the Federal Government in 1999.
The augmented unemployment rate also takes into account jobless people who aren't counted among the officially unemployed because they haven't searched for work lately, but who would take a job if offered one. Call them job-wanters. It adds the job-wanters to the officially unemployed, and divides the sum by the sum of the labor force and the job-wanters. augmented unemployment rate = (job-wanters + unemployed) / (labor force + job-wanters)
