as opposed to "out of work" or "job seekers"

I translated it in a FEANTSA report as this:
Inoltre a questi numeri si aggiungono le percentuali delle persone cosiddette inoccupate (ossia coloro che non lavorano e nemmeno lo ricercano) che vede ancora dei buoni risultati nel 2006 nel Nord Italia mentre anche questo dato è in crescita nelle regioni del Centro e del Sud.
Furthermore, in addition to these numbers there are also the percentages of the “unoccupied” (i.e. people out of work who do not even seek work) which recorded good results in northern Italy in 2006, while the figure was again on the increase in central and southern Italy.
