RANDOM #LABOR REMINDER
USA labor statistics are shoddy as fuck and that's by design since the Reagan/Bush era.
used to be you'd go to your local DoL to register when seeking employment. then, if needed, they'd add you to welfare rolls so you could get food stamps, Medicaid, rent-relief, etc.
Unemployment office + welfare is how we got data for #unemployment numbers.
Since Reagan/Bush era, most of that has been privatized & dismantled and for a reason... similar to #COVID19
