The unemployment-rate calculates the number of Americans working or actively seeking employment. However, as there are nearly three job-seekers for every available job, thousands have given up looking for work-- even though they'd like a job. As such, the official unemployment-rate has declined significantly more than the real un- or under-employment in the country.
