Just publish two numbers that includes / excludes students?

The next question that comes to mind is - you know the number of students, deduct that from your percentage and you're done.

The answer is probably that labour force data like this is usually collected through surveys of samples of the population, while the enrolment data would be collected from educational institutions.
