I think the numbers are real, they just don't tell the whole story. Tech right now is rough, especially gaming. Outside of tech a lot of people are working multiple jobs to make ends meet. So yeah, unemployment is low, but so are wages compared to inflation.
This doesn't sound like worth celebrating, to me. I'm 26 and unemployed for family reasons. Would me working and hiring someone else to do this labor be an improvement? Should I hire a caregiver, a driver, a maid, and a handyman? All while I break my body in a warehouse? Orrrr should I just be unemployed for like, a year? 🤣 unemployment for all. More need to be able to choose, it would improve the effectiveness of society.
Yay let's celebrate employment as the earth dies of climate change. They're good at distraction.
