you do not agree with the article... i think you've made your point. i've supported my claims for the article and i've made my point.
you fall off the list when benefits run out. should you be lucky enough to be on the household survey (which you say rotates; and it means your chance of staying on the survey is slim for the long run) you will be counted under one of the categories.
that (however) is not what the article is about... for whatever reason this subject is so important to you i find amusing. and at this point my time is too valuable to continue this discussion.
thank you for your kind words however.

I see you were unable to find any sources whatsoever for any of the points (because you are wrong) so you end the debate.
Your article is about the unemployment rate ("5.6%") which is calculated using a survey. The nonfarm numbers that you are now talking about are also gotten via a survey. You don't "fall off" of either after 26 weeks. You have not shown anything that suggests you do. It's amusing to me that even after being shown over and over you are either to stubborn or stupid to admit this.
You are not supposed to stay on the survey it is rotated to increase accuracy by getting new households at random (i.e. what a statistical survey is supposed to do).
I wanted to see if you had any ??journalistic integrity?? (I guess not)... Reading up on economic data/articles is part of my job and something I do anyway.
