> 59.2% is quite misleading because it includes students and retirees. Misleading does imply context, which is used to confuse the issue and has traditionally been used to alter the statistic to meet agendas. People who aren't looking for work, students, retirees, etc is irrelevant. It's a statistic about who is employed versus not employed as a relative portion. While I don't think there is a canonically sound source anymore, we have had a serious system problem for awhile. When even the curated sources by one agency are more pessimistic than the celebrated federal numbers, it's now a question of how wrong they are, not what they say.
