The unemployment rate is determined by individuals filing for unemployment assistance from the government or other similar programs, such as disability. If 2 million of those individuals decided to stop looking for work, they would necessarily stop filing unemployment (active job seeking is a requirement for unemployment filing). This would, in turn, significantly reduce the unemployment rate in the country in spite of the total number of unemployed people remaining the same.
