Underemployment has been a problem during the last 10 years or so. A lot of people are working multiple part time jobs.
anecdotal tidbit from me. I work for a public works agency. We hire many Summer temporary employees during paving and bridge repair season. Managers have had 4 rounds of applications accepted and interviews. We still haven’t filled all the positions. This has never happened before in my 19 years where I work.
Correct. This was too inconvenient for the MSM to admit though. Just like all the dodges used to not count long term unemployed as unemployed (disability fakers or they lying claim that they “gave up”), they also counted highly qualified people who had to take burger flipper jobs as being “employed”...which they were sort of..and earning maybe one quarter of what they would’ve been earning in a normal economy......
But of course they were unwilling to talk about Barry’s failures.
