And, folks used to be counted in the unemployment numbers until that SS # 
was collecting from a 3/4 to fulltime job.  Now, once you are no longer 
collecting unemployment, you are no longer counted as unemployed.  Cute way 
of getting the % of unemployed down to a nice small number.

Plus, SS collections are only turned in quarterly.  So, when I collected SS 
for employees at our butcher shop and the other stores I managed, at the end 
of March I totalled up my numbers and then had 6 weeks or so to turn in the 
report.  The money I technically collected from wages was turned in in lump 
sums which wouldn't tell anyone anything.  The SS collections don't tell 
anyone anything.  Only those quarterly reports do.

So the two numbers are totally irrelavant as to the reality of what is going 
on in the work force.
