Hm, I wonder how they hack these numbers together. I just made up my own unemployment metric, absolute unemployment. A-U = Population - Employees. For US. A-U = 308 mil. - 140 mil.(1)
which suggests there is about 55% of the population who are not currently employed. So,  A-U - U-4 = the approximately 50% of the population who don&#x27;t need jobs I guess.<p>1.<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.bls.gov&#x2F;timeseries&#x2F;CES0000000001" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.bls.gov&#x2F;timeseries&#x2F;CES0000000001</a>
