i volunteered this week guess i wasnt part of the UE. a woman did laundry she was thrown off too and the garbage man cleaned up his yard, he was taken off UE as well. 3 people gone according to the cooked numbers. no one is buying it, if theres no money in hand people are seeing the UE for what it is. Cooked numbers.
The reference week for the October numbers was the week of October 7-13. During that week, if you worked for 1 or more hours for pay or 15 or more hours unpaid in a family business or farm then you were Employed.
If you did not work that week (except for temporary illness/injury, vacation, etc) could have started work that week and had looked for work between Sept 16 and Oct 6, you were Unemployed.
If you don't fit either, you were Not in the Labor Force.
Volunteer work or work around the house does not count as employment.
I find it interesting that you have no idea what the actual definitions are but have the balls to call the numbers cooked when you're the one making shit up.
