    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.
