It seems like we continuously hear that the number of people claiming
unemployment compensation keeps dropping and it's spun as job growth. I
wonder if people who exhaust their unemployment benefits and remain
unemployed are still counted among the unemployed, or if they drop off the
roster. When I exhausted my benefits, nobody cared if I found work after
that point and I didn't have to turn in work search reports to the ESC.
