Are inmates apart of the jobs report that comes out? Like the ones who fight wildfires, or clean up roads or on a work release program? What about the unemployment numbers?
Unemployment numbers come from State's tallies of people that are currently claiming and drawing unemployment. So if you don't find a job in 26 weeks and you're unemployment runs out, you're no longer "unemployed". If you quit or were fired and unable to qualify for unemployment, you're not "unemployed". If you're disabled and can't work you're not "unemployed".
Jobs data is just as bad. They do a survey of business and ask how many are hiring. Even if they don't hire anyone, or it's a ghost job, it's still counted as an "available job created".
As for new jobs filled, they survey payroll companies like PAYCHEX.
Counts of who is looking for a job or not is done with another survey.
Speaking of the ones that fight wildfires, calfire could use and train prisoners for wildlands fire fighting, but as soon as they were released, calfire rules would not allow them to be hired due to their criminal background.
They finally changed it in the last 5 years or so.
Doesn't the federal rely on polls or something, like it isn't accurate. And then at the state level if someone goes beyond unemployment payments which is usually only like 6 weeks, I think they also fall into not being considered unemployed anymore but I'm not 100% how they mark that.
One of the statistics relies on who is applying for Unemployment Insurance payments.
Which run out if you're on them for 6 months in a year. So that stat starts to get really unreliable after July, and gets worse as it approaches December.

Inmates are not counted in any of this.

There are different unemployment numbers but the main one is a person is unemployed if they
Inmates probably don't count for 2 and/or 3 and thus would not count as unemployed
