@BobD

they only count the people on the unemployment rolls (getting checks) as looking for work.

This is why “unemployment figures” have been a scam since the 80s. They don’t actually count the unemployed, only those collecting unemployment insurance. Every time that number goes down, you can almost guarantee it’s been 6 months since the last set of massive layoffs and terminations, and not because hundreds suddenly got new jobs.
