From your link: People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work.

That is everyone without a job on TANF which is what most people are talking about when they say “welfare.”
That was a bit of a trick. Clearly they count as unemployed those collecting unemployment checks who are supposed to be looking for employment to keep the checks coming. Unemployment checks stop and then those are not counted as unemployed. That's why you really have to look at labor participation to get the full picture. What would also be interesting would be federal withholding being collected to give a good indication.

But like CPI... unemployment is gamed.
