yes but to be UNEMPLOYED you have to be EMPLOYED first. i dont see how i am wrong?

"Some people think that to get these figures on unemployment, the Government uses the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance "

to apply for unemployment you have to be EMPLOYED. that is how it is in canada as far as i know also.

so how does your above point prove me wrong is what i am asking. that is my exact point.

if you were not employed you would apply for WELFARE. major difference. that is how i see it anyway. im prob right as usual
