The unemployment numbers have been calculated this way - independent of who is President - for some years now. Everybody knows who they include, and who they do not.

The screaming that "the numbers are not real" is absurd - because everybody who pays attention to them knows what they include and do not. They know the caveats. And the numbers over the years have always reflected the same thing as far as inclusion/exclusion, and the exclusions and caveats are already known to everyone who is reading the numbers, and is estimatable separately.

So dismissing the numbers as completely invalid is pretty absurdly ridiculous.
