Once you're unemployed for more than half a year, you are no longer part of the unemployment statistics.

Hence, even if you are still jobless, unemployment has gone down, as far as the statisticians are concerned.

Under employment statistics figures should be more important, unemployment is low because nobody can afford to be unemployed.
