The Unemployment rate is complete Bs
there I said what everyone is thinking
There is no fucking way in hell that the unemployment rate is only 4.20% in the US it’s probably 15%-20% but they won’t post the real number everyone is poor and struggling
Everyone I know from different fields is struggling and you hear stories of mass layoffs, people with college degrees not being able to get jobs, people with multiple years experience getting offered minimum wage pay, entry level job system
people going back to grad school just to get stuck in this feedback loop of not being able to find a job so unsustainable like bruh
I got laid off like 2 months ago and I’m struggling to find a job that will even give me an interview forget the job I’m gonna have to sell some of my stuff just to survive now
Fuck this shit
It's definitely BS and part of it is because people who make any amount of money are considered employed in calculating this statistic. Spend a few hours a week driving for doordash or something similar? You're employed. Do freelance commissions occasionally? You're self-employed. Doesn't matter if you don't have a full time job and you make pennie......
