This is much different from what your other post described.

You're unemployment benefits could have run out years ago, but if you are still actively seeking employment, you are considered to be unemployed and in the labor market.

I suppose you could actually still be receiving unemployment benefits, and not be considered unemployed or in the labor market if you were not actively seeking work.

You can see alternate measures of unemployment here:
