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).

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.
Omegacanada didn't discover anything. You speculate that the numbers from ADP (which are in itself only guessing) are right and that the government gave them order to correct them. You provided no proof for it.
They do. You can read it in every labour force survey from StatsCan.

"The number of people who wanted a job but were not actively looking for one, and therefore did not meet the definition of unemployment, increased by 74,000 (+14.3%) in January. If people in this group had been counted as part of the group of unemployed, the adjusted unemployment rate in January would be 12.0%."
They include people who could work but aren't looking for one, speak "people who fall off the rolls".
