I think the ones who aren't counted are the "unemployed and no longer receiving benefits."

Unemployed and tired of looking and receiving benefits are in the numbers.

That they drop people out of the stats when they stop qualifying for benefits is what makes the numbers as low as they are currently.

for example, my BF has been unemployed for more than three years, he was only counted for the first 26 weeks. Whether you get a job or lose benefits, you're out of the numbers.
