In what capacity are you counted in this situation? I have a hard time believing that "asking a friend" somehow makes it into government labor statistics.

- creer 3y agoI don't remember the details but it seems to me: active polling (interviews) is involved, and we never see it because they use an amazingly small sample. So that, yes, it can be counted.
- dghlsakjg 3y agoThe government does random polling. “Asking a friend” actually does explicitly qualify as looking for work. https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed
