Persons are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work. Actively looking for work may consist of any of the following activities: Contacting: >An employer directly or having a job interview >A public or private employment agency >Friends or relatives >A school or university employment center Sending out resumes or filling out applications Placing or answering advertisements Checking union or professional registers Some other means of active job search If you are no longer actively looking for work, you are no longer considered unemployed, but instead a "discouraged worker. " So your benefits could be exhausted, but if you are still looking for work, then you would be counted for governmental purposes as unemployed.

John Williams runs a website called "Shadow Government Statistics" (SGS) that provides graphs of the "alternate unemployment rate" that includes discouraged workers, part time workers unable to find full time work, and other marginally attached workers. Currently this exceeds 22% twice the "official rate. " Currently, the Labor Department says there are nearly five unemployed people for every job opening.

If you use the SGS alternate unemployment rate, then there are 10 unemployed people for every job opening! As benefits end, welfare lines are getting longer. However, it is a myth that welfare causes poverty.
