Where the fuck have you been for the last... your entire fucking lifetime.
If he used the Alternate numbers than that's not very fair... those include people looking to upgrade a job, people with more skills than the job is (ie those with jobs) and of course long term unemployment people - which it assumes all want/need a job rather than just left the job force, like a mother might do.

Basically it's the number opposite of full time employed people.
