The 9m canadians out of work/on CERB have been 'reclassed' as being on the government's payroll and so no longer count as unemployed... Most of them don't even know.
Out of the almost 17 million Canadians on payroll over 9 million lost their job. They corrected this number to about 1 million. You either believe that the unemployment rate is 60% (like before the correction) or 8% (after the correction).
Here is last years dataset https://www.adp.ca/-/media/adpca/redesign2019/images/resource-hub/ner/1120/adp_canada_ner_history_2020_11.xlsx?la=en
and this years:
that falls under the 'out of work' group mentioned in the OP. Please understand I am trying to simplify something so complex that it won't even be on the news.
Dude, you copied my comment on this from a few days ago.

I understand it more than you.
I'm not talking about simplifying it for you, you are smart.
A 60% unemployment rate would be on the news.
Also some provinces do their own reporting on unemployment rates and there are nowhere near 60%. They are closer to 8%. Unless you think Conservative Premiers like Kenney, Moe or Legault are cooking the books too.
Why would something that omegacanada just discovered be on the news? it's too new.
