The US report demonstrates 3.9% unemployment; here is the problem: Welfare recipients currently: 18% Homeless currently: 7.4% Actual unemployment is between 7.4% and 18% If you are going to look at joblessness, let's use reality.

[@climjames1677]

NO, the unemployment rate is over 30%. How can it be less when the labor participation rate is only ~63% ???

[@arnoldbailey7550]

@@climjames1677 Available jobs and unemployed are possible when you have more jobs posted than available workforce. The issue with availability can be a mix of skill requirements, location, and/or work conditions which make it difficult to fill openings. You can also have seasonal jobs which are grouped in with full-time positions. There is a huge dynamic at play beyond what is represented.
