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  |
That should say:
"Some people [incorrectly] think that to get these figures on unemployment, the Government uses the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance"
That's what many people think, but that is not the case... you do NOT need to be previously employed to be counted in these unemployment figures...
