    "Does anyone know the true unemployment rate if you add in all the people on the disabilities pension."

    The unemployment rate is defined as the number of unemployed as a percent of the potential labor force. The potential labour force is defined as persons over 16 available for work other than for temporary illness.

    Surely you're not suggesting everyone with a permanent or long-standing disability should be considered part of the potential labour force?!
