[lbo-talk] Why High French Unemployment Rate?

[Wojtek S]

Did you bother?  I am saying that the difference may be in how people
respond not in how the statisticians treat their responses.  In other
words, there is a subjective element in what constitutes unemployment.

 If person A does not bother to look for a job, he is not counted as
unemployed but if person B is looking - he his.  These subjective
differences may also be a source of variations in unemployment rates,
even though in both cases LFS follows standard definitions.
