    I wish they’d focus less on whether people are employed and more on whether people are earning enough to survive in their area.

    You could have 100% employment and find that everyone is below the poverty line. Or you could have 0% employment and find that the country is doing great due to volunteerism or fusion-based replicators.

      Also how many of these are part time jobs picked up by someone who already has another job?

      “Job creation” data never includes how many people are having to work more than one job.
