The overall unemployment rate would have been about 3 percentage points higher than reported if those individuals had been identified correctly, according to the agency. (The estimate isnt seasonally adjusted.)
That would put the official unemployment rate at 16.3%.
The true rate could be higher still.
The unemployment rate doesnt include the share of workers who may have dropped out of the workforce, perhaps due to feeling pessimistic about the chances of finding a job in the current economy. More than 6 million workers have dropped out of the labor force since February.
In fact, the unemployment rate is a much-higher 21.2% as judged by another metric.
