Note that in the
United States at least, there is an additional
wrinkle when computing
unemployment. A
person is considered unemployed if and only if they are
looking for a job. And, even if they are looking for a job, after a certain amount of
time looking without luck, they are no longer considered as among the unemployed. I think this
group might be
lumped in with those in the structurally unemployed category, but it is not necessarily because they have no
useful skills.
It might just be because they are unlucky.
