  (b) is probably too high because some people with jobs claimed to be unemployed so
  that they could collect unemployment compensation payments.
  (c) is probably too low because there were discouraged and underemployed workers.
  (d) is probably meaningless because the data on unemployment was either very poor
  or nonexistent.
