So the running joke is that 20% is reality, unless you blindly follow the administration, then you agree that 9% is reality to make yourself feel better. At least among my unemployed friends.

Im not sure where you got those numbers, but that is not how unemployment is calculated at all. The number of people getting unemployment checks plays no role in determining the unemployment rate.
