However, we need to account for

a) unemployed people that are not able to work

Not sure how it works there, but I believe in the US, the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't count people unable to work in their "unemployed persons" numbers.

Like...a 3 month old infant isn't considered "unemployed" for statistical purposes, for example.

Freaking unemployed infants leeching off society

you're probably right. I might have gotten misled because there's an ongoing debate about unemployed refugees here and it's mostly because we're terrible bat getting them permits to work.

They often are simply referencing the number of people reporting and/or applying for unemployment benefits.
