Concerning UK unemployment, this BBC article from March is an eye-opener. Unemployment: Who are the millions of Britons not working? - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-52660591

It says, 'about a quarter of people of working-age - around 10 million people - don't currently have jobs,' then later on, 'officially, about 1.3 million people in the UK were unemployed.'

Effectively then, there's really approaching 8 times more working-age people who are unemployed than what the official figures - which is defined and manipulated by government setting a very narrow criteria - would have us believe.
