unemployment going up is likely discouraged workers re-entering the labor market, which can be a good sign

My official take is that the reason they have like 9 different metrics that all display wildly different numbers is so that they can pick whichever one they want to fit their narrative at the moment because it's only ever reported as generic "unemployment numbers"

FWIW wire services like AP and reuters are the one group i trust to give an honest read on unemployment numbers are (in economist terms) good or bad, which is something impossible for a non expert to tell because the metrics are so weird

it's trivial for anyone with am agenda to spin the numbers however they want bc they're confusing as hell

yeah, but apparently it’s good cuz unemployment went up because this means more people are looking for jobs, or something

i dunno i never got econ that much because of the whole everyone’s a rational actor, and things are fair because everyone has perfect information in these dumbass models. then i saw the laffer (laffo) curve.

yeah probably but 99% of the population doesn't know that and it's never reported as, "excluding people who have given up entirely, seasonal workers, and those who are underemployed, the numbers are X"

it's a sham, and anyway wages aren't going up for anybody who isn't management+ so it's irrelevant anyway
