The Wise Latinx with a degree in economics apparently never learned how the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the unemployment rate. Just to enlighten her, the BLS calls households. They ask two questions to calculate the unemployment rate. First are you currently employed. If not are you actively looking for work. Notice the questions is a simple yes or no. Whether a person has multiple jobs is irrevelant.

The fact is the labor force participation rate is the same as it was when Trump took office.

This bug-eyed twit slept through the whole damned course!
Or she's an example of "social advancement".
Either way, she's still a dumb ass.

People having two jobs increase the unemployment rate because those they are one person occupying two job slots.

Absolutely correct. The unemployment rate for a person is binary. If a person has a part-time job or works 15 jobs, his employment = 1. Math is not her strong suit and she seems to be an economics major in the same vein as Krugman.

In the future — once she figures it all out — she’ll be demanding those with 2 jobs to sacrifice the best one to an illegal.

Any chance this Towering Intellect will get to strut her stuff in a public debate? Will their be debates before the election?
To: OldSmaj
I listened to an interview with her and concluded...she is nothing more than a kid with little life experience. If the dems want to vote for her...go for it. During a debate, she’ll be gobbled up and tossed aside.
To: simpson96
Even though her Republican challenger has little chance of winning he should challenge her to debates just to expose what a tard she is.
To: C19fan
More insanity from this KOOK. She has been described as the “Future of the Democratic Party” by DNC head....
To: C19fan
She just needs a bit of coaching from Stretch Pelosi on how to sound coherent.

Progressive Politics is a fantastic refuge for people who imagine themselves to be smarter and wiser than everyone else but but aside from talking a good game couldn’t manage a profitable women’s mud wrestling event even with a brewery spotting them free beer.
