Recently I noticed that the unemployment index and your unemployment rate don't have the value. I will use my nation as an example:
Employed: 3,564,099
Unemployed: 142,953
Percentage Unemployed: 7.99%

Now if one does the math, clearly my unemployment is actually at about 4%.

So where do those other 4% Come from?
My theories include disabled and housewives, but I am not too sure. Anyone have a similar problem?
