Aside from the other cogent comments about how to effectively measure unemployment and what that might tell us about the economy, this article is pretty shite. > "Axios on HBO." What does that even mean? this is literally out of Idiocracy. -brought to you by Carl's Junior > author of Capital First line under the headline contains a link to marketing material with a prominent sign-up link. gotta pump up those conversion numbers, i guess. > rate rises even further, to 54.6%. For Black Americans, it's 59.2% this is such a bullshit, zeitgeisty move. provides no useful info, is a non-sequitur solely for the purposes trying to ride the BLM wave. grab that emotional engagement. > A person who is looking for a full-time job that pays a living wage — but who can't find one — is unemployed. If you accept that definition, the true unemployment rate in the U.S. is a stunning 26.1% as others have said, the ability to not find any job and whether or not you are above the poverty line is a very different thing. muddling these two makes me strongly doubt the clarity of sight from the author and guarantees i wouldnt sign up for anything related to his opinions.
