    Pffft, if you think the way the american gov measures the unemployment stat is very good, its maybe not me with the atypical experience. Hard to take you seriously with a statement like that, good lord

      What else do you want? There are numbers for short-term, long-term, actively looking, stopped looking, workforce participation, and underemployed both part-time who want full-time and full-time in a low paying job because they can’t find anything in their field. They also have trends and more granular breakdowns in each category.

      Enlighten me, what else should be reported? People who wait tables but dream of being a movie star or pro athlete?
