What? No, no, no. Being unemployed when you want to be employed is 0% productivity. That is lost productively compared to having a job for that period of time. That extra time spent interviewing is money lost for you compared to working.

Having everyone spend more time learning skills that are only used between jobs is productivity that is lost relative to learning skills that improve your ability to do your job, or just doing the job itself.
