Bigger population.

That can't explain it. How can more people have jobs than ever before and at the same time we have had a net loss of jobs? The two 'facts' are mutually exclusive.

Assume we start with 100 people.

Half have jobs.

The population grows 50% to 150 people.

Half have jobs.

There are now 75 people without jobs.

Net loss of jobs in Ratspeak.

More jobs than ever before in reality.

Irrelevant in either case.
