Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the seasonally adjusted total unemployment rate (TUR) should be used to determine the availability of extended benefits and Federal supplemental compensation of the unemployed; (2) if the seasonally adjusted TUR is not currently available for a State, an alternative method of calculating such TUR should be developed and implemented with respect to determining the availability of such benefits; and (3) the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other agencies involved with the gathering of unemployment data should take all steps necessary to improve U.S. capability to measure accurately the level of total unemployment and should recommend ways to improve current unemployment compensation benefit formulas so that such benefits are made available in areas of greatest need.
