Article very confusing...and, like most 'official' reports, not exactly accurate. How many of those who are unemployed but 'actively looking' are like several people I know who simply report fictitious job contacts so they can continue to sit on their duffs and collect unemployment? Or like the sig-other of one of my employees who'd rather claim she has to take care of her baby (who is at a grandparent or other relative's house/care 98% of the day, every day) so she can collect state aid? These shouldn't be added to the official count, in my opinion.
