AbstractThe underlying data from which the U.S. unemployment rate, labor-force participation rate, and duration of unemployment are calculated contain numerous internal contradictions. This paper catalogs these inconsistencies and proposes a unified reconciliation. We find that the usual statistics understate the unemployment rate and the labor-force participation rate by about two percentage points on average and that the bias in the latter has increased over time. The BLS estimate of the average duration of unemployment substantially overstates the true duration of uninterrupted spells of unemployment and misrepresents what happened to average durations during the Great Recession and its recovery.

A person is outside the labour force, according to the International Labour Organisation definition, if he or she is not part of the labour force, meaning he or she is neither employed nor unemployed. The set of people outside the labour is also called the "inactive population" and can include pre-school children, school children, students, pensioners and housewives or -men, for example, provided that they are not working at all and not available or looking for work either; some of these may be of working-age. The inactivity rate is the proportion of people outside the labout force (i.e. economically inactive persons) in the total population of the same age group. Related concepts

People are considered employed if they work at least one hour for pay or at their own business at any time during the week including the twelfth day of the month.

People who are temporarily absent from their jobs because of vacation, illness, bad weather, or personal reasons are also counted as employed.

People are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria:

The primary factor in determining whom to count as unemployed is that the person be actively seeking employment. “Wanting a job” is not enough to be counted as unemployed.
