the fact remains
It is ridiculous to count people as "unemployed" who, for one reason or another, often their own choice, do not want to or need to have a payroll job. For example, one spouse working while the other raises the kids is a choice, not someone being "driven" out of the labor market.
You can make a case for factoring in "discouraged workers," or people who want a job but have given up looking for one, but only if this is factored in for all unemployment rates.
