Although the number of unemployed people remains at 20, the unemployment rate quadruples, to 40%. So the perverse result of this way of counting the unemployed is that the more young people who pursue additional education or training, the higher the youth unemployment rate rises.
在我上面的例子中，我们假设200个劳动力总数中有150人是全日制在校大学生。只有50人仍属于劳动力。尽管失业人数仍旧是20，但失业率翻了四倍，达到了40%。因此，如此失业率算法会带来不恰当的结果——越多年轻人追求继续深造或培训，年轻人失业率就越高。
