Doesn't seem logical to then just count it as zero homeless. What is the range of among those who do estimate it ?

one fallacy: that the homeless are unemployed. not all of them are.

National Law Ctr on Homelessness and Poverty est. 2 million adults and children were homeless as of 1994.

Plus you have to remember that you're calculating a *rate* of unemployment.

5.8mill/139 mill =4.2% 6.8/139=4.9%

but hey, they leave out the prison population, etc so why think they'd be logical
