Vote for you? Not until you bother to put some effort into your arguments, pooley.

Up-to-date figures:

Claimant Count (Jobseeker's Allowance) 864,700
Vacancies 634,900

A difference of 229,800. Just a little more than you were suggesting. I do hope that your job doesn't involve a lot of figures.

Also, the groups you suggested taking out of the figures don't form part of the unemployment figures. If what you are thinking of is those deemed economically inactive, then talk about that. There's a major difference. (Mind you, even that is a bizarre notion dreamed up years ago by some civil servant).

EDIT: My source for the figures above was here:
