However, you have to say you're looking for work to count as unemployed. If I get $300 to say so, then I might say I'm looking for work (and genuinely look for it) -- but if I no longer get any benefit (or much less) from saying so, then I might not bother with all the (tedious paternalist) paperwork to get counted as 'unemployed'
