I will bet it is closer to 11.9% and the commiecrats are hiding it as they want to progress they’re communism with lies while America suffers and they get 6 figure paychecks and DARE to bash the wealthy.
It’s up to almost 20% in my county.
If counted the way it was done in the thirties the REAL unemployment rate is worse than the thirties. There are millions of people working part time jobs for a small fraction of what they used to earn at full time jobs but they are counted as employed! If you earned a hundred thousand plus another forty thousand in benefits before but are now working twenty hours a week at minimum wage you are counted as employed! If you have given up looking for a job and are scouring the roadside on foot to see if you can find a coin someone dropped you are NOT counted as unemployed, you are OUT OF THE LABOR FORCE, hence uncounted. Cheer up though, if you get a part time job next week and make forty dollars all week you will be EMPLOYED. Government figures are a load of crap, especially when the Rats are in office.
