"The unemployment rate is low by historical standards..."
What if I told you the unemployment rate is a bullshit number tracked by bullshit people with bullshit jobs?
The only people counted as unemployed are those who both check in regularly with unemployment and either are actively looking for work or expecting to be rehired after layoffs.
Even if you are looking for work, if you aren't actively checking in with unemployment, you aren't being counted. And who the fuck wastes time with reporting to unemployment when they have no unemployment benefits to claim because they either never had them or ran out of them?
