Interesting. I notice my county, in southwestern Utah, is at the 2% mark, but my own limited experience suggests that might be a rather conservative estimate. A couple idle speculations as per the study: 1) I know many people who have responded to the recession by attempting to start a business (usually involving a depressingly harebrained business plan). These people often fall victim to Kelly Felix-inspired "make money on the Internet" or other affiliate marketing schemes. I could imagine some of these people, when being surveyed, saying that they did not currently desire a job. 2) Many adults, and recent high-school graduates, who otherwise would not be attending college, are attending college now, thanks to the high availability of student benefits and lack of other options. I don't think the study factored these people (I don't know what criteria one could use to do so anyway), but if it had, I'll bet the resulting unemployment rate would be higher nationwide.
