Are inmates apart of the jobs report that comes out? Like the ones who fight wildfires, or clean up roads or on a work release program? What about the unemployment numbers?

  There are different unemployment numbers but the main one is a person is unemployed if they

  1. do not have a job
  2. are actively looking for a job and
  3. are eligible to be hired

  Inmates probably don’t count for 2 and/or 3 and thus would not count as unemployed
