they're not included in the part you've quoted.
when they're sanctioned (punished by either having a reduction or having no money paid) then they are not included in the "unemployment" figures.
they have no publicly recognised category.
so naturally when you have say 1,000 and you take away say 999 you're left with 1.
so naturally you assume the 999 have found a job.
because they're not on the list anymore.
happy days.

That is simply wrong .Both sets of unemployment figures show a fall in unemployment ,also those that are sanctioned would still be classed as unemployed under the LFS figures so your claim that those being sanctioned are being removed from the unemployment figures is simply rubbish .The only truth is that more people are being sanctioned more under a conservative government than a Labour one

what do you think happens to the figures when people are no longer signing on when they have been sanctioned?
these people have to officially 'reclaim' when their disallowance period has expired.
