They didn't change the calculation method, they shifted people from one category to another. Long-term unemployment in the UK was swallowed up by Incapacity Benefit entitlement (still is, to a considerable extent).

Oh I cant find it but I remember a diagram that showed during the 1980s that showed over fourty changes in definitions (Seperate to the campaign to persuade people to change over from unemployment to sickness benmefit)that in every case apart from one had resulted in a reduction of the unemployment numbers. These recalculations supposedly cut unemployment numbers by about 1.5 million to 3.5 million
Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
