> 18% sounds closer to it.
I was thinking it was in the 20s.
I would guess its in the 20’s too. I don’t think 18 % is high enough. It really depends on how you define “employed” and the feds knows this. Control the language; control the narrative.
If you include unemployed and underemployed (the people who can only get get 25 hours a week so their employer can avoid the Obamacare mandate), then it must be around 25-30%.
I have a lot of friends who work in retail, grocery stores, etc, and I don’t think any of them are getting a full 40 hours a week.
