but he's got a point, something isnt working with the %'s. Unimatrix 01 on KB: From my unemployment index of 3.75 I should have about 2.5m unemployment but my unemployment numbers run between 1.5m-1.6m so even if you take in the fluctuation its not even near to what the numbers really are and the index should be about 2.3 |

Include housewives and disabled in "potential labour force". |

Wouldnt work out either, got 3.8m disabled, counting from the SCC page and if I substract the 'recovered' disabled its still 1.9m so with that 1.5m would be way above the 2.5m for the 3.75 index. And of course housewives are a lot more |

I had pointed this out before and the GMs indicated that they use a modified formula that calms down sudden variations, I do not remember the exact formula, but if you really want to know you can shoot them an email. |

It's all changes. It is a weighted average.
It is not only the rehabilitated that count, but the total number of housewives and disabled people.
Despite using their methodology, the numbers don't add up. |

Today's question as it relates to life in general....do the numbers ever really add up? |
| T Mac | Saturday, March 30, 2013 - 12:20 am
have you added in all the people who moved back in with their parents and those who quit looking for work? |

I found the formula Andy posted:
The unemployment percentage is calculated as 100 - employed percentage.
employment is calculated as the number of employed, divided by the number of employed + unemployed.
There is a slight deviation when the employment is high and there is a delay in the calculation that may deliver slightly different numbers but prevents big jumps that are unrealistic.
new corporations never hire 200.000 people in a single month so it is smoothed. |

And no, the numbers still do not add up.
Example:
Employed = 48,810,806 (49.2 % of total population)
Unemployed = 477,472 (Using formula above = 0.9687%)
No new corps built...
No military size change...
Listed Percentage is 2.43% |

A pattern forms:
Example:
Employed = 52,783,832(49.61 % of total population)
Unemployed = 429166 (Using formula above = 0.8065%)
No new corps built...
No military size change...
Listed Percentage is 2.43% |
