It doesn't work like that.

Its worse than the numbers say.

I know several people that got laid off and when they use up the unemployment reserve allocated to them they can't collect anymore.. therefor dropping the unemployment numbers.

Also all us self-employed people who didn't pay unemployment insurance on ourselves don't count if our businesses tank.

A bunch of people who use to work full-time are now part-timers and that doesn,t count. etc. etc.
