4.9%?? Who in the world buys that BS? If they measured unemployment the same way it was measured in 1980, it would be close to 20%
And 100,000 new jobs at Taco Bell coming soon. Well that is in places that aren’t raising the min wage which will result in those jobs going to automated robots.
Includes children
Imagine a fantastical land where 94.6 million unemployed able-to-work people result in a 1/10th percent down-tick in the “Unemployment Rate”.
It’s, it’s MAGIC!!!
