Actually..he quoted the correct figure.
5% are the people who want a job but cannot find one, that's the only figure in the "unemployment rate"
The actual number of Americans out of work, either by retirement, by choice or because they simply cannot find work and have dropped out of the workforce is around 95 million.
I know, off-topic, but I just wanted to explain that 95 million figure.
