GREAT point! I’ve been watching these jobless reports with interest, especially the “numbers not seen since 1947” stuff. Given the US population has at least doubled since then, this is a crock. Nowhere have I seen per-capita jobless rates posted. Only the raw numbers.
Fortunately the economy will improve overnight now that the O is in charge.
Oooooooommmmmmmmmmmm
