Finding Job

Not American but I do follow BurbNBougie and Sir Hawk in YT. ABSOLUTELY the unemployment rate in US is total BS. Didn't Trump replaced the previous labour statistics head due to high unemployment rate like OP mentioned 15-20% to a guy related to the Project 2025?. There is mass government lay-off, with dying tourist spot so does the jobs in there, ......   2 reply

Idk how to comfort you since I'm still a college student whose parents didn't allow them to work until they graduate and got nursing license. The only comfort I can give you is "DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO"   reply

It's definitely BS and part of it is because people who make any amount of money are considered employed in calculating this statistic.
