why thats were all the republicans danceHolyfuckingshit!Oh, how are you claiming I failed? I've shown my work.The last change in defintion was in 1994. before then, the definition of unemployed was:
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days.
Employment and Earnings July 1982
In 1994 it changed to
Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
So....no change eliminating people not looking for work. Apparently YOU did not look it up.
you failed your research project, try again or accept an F as your final grade.
because your research was flawed and biased.

That article doesn't actually defend your idiocy and you're clearly too ignorant to realize that.
Schmuck... you said, "they changed the way they count the unemployed to exclude those who are no longer looking for work."
Nothing's been changed. They still count folks the same way under Obama as they did before he was president. Making the 5% unumployment rate relative and relevant to what he inherited from Bush as well as the 10% unemployment rate resulting from Bush's Great Recession.
