“The point was moving factories to the US does not explode tax revenue because there is no pool of unemployed people”

Insane comment. The true rate of employment is 24.6%. New high paying jobs will reduce this number significantly. We do not a labor shortage, we have a super large pool of unemployed people that need to be encouraged to rejoin the labor force.

If you actually believe that that unemployment is low, you’re fooling yourself. Millions upon millions of people just got discouraged and gave up looking. Offer them high paying factory jobs along with the millions of opportunities these factories will create, they will come back.

The measurement is unemployment. Not employment.

No idea where that number came from, but there have always been alternate sources of such things. A guy named Williams used to self promote an inflation rate quote of his very own. Walter or John. Does unemployment, too.

The unemployment rate has a published BLS methodology. If there is a known error in either the survey procedure calendar week of the 12th day of each month, or the sample is not correct, they have a communications channel for people to inform them of the error. You should do that. I am sure they would want to know how they made a 22% error.
