I'm just saying that a 65+ person not working shouldn't be automatically considered "unemployed" in order to justify a sensationalized story headline.

According to this:

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

if my arithmetic is correct, about 70 million people are under 18 and 37 million are over 65.

So to claim thee are 87 million unemployed people out of 281 million is a pretty wild (and pretty false) claim.
