I understand the need to exclude the young, old, disabled, and homemakers but why do unemployment statistics not include those who are simply living off of welfare and not intending to work (or on the opposite end of the spectrum, those living off of a trust fund)? Is this subset of the population just not big enough to be worth including in the statistics?

About the people living of welfare: as far as I’m aware, you usually have to be officially looking for work to recieve welfare, so those people are counted.
