This Table of Data, which breaks down the numerical changes in the key figures.
I will refer to this set of data as Table JSF-URF-6
I will post some actual numbers and let the comparisons and discussion follow.
The BLS uses both Seasonally Adjusted figures and Unadjusted figures, and interchanges them without clearly identifying so. I will use only the Unadjusted numbers, to help maintain clarity and transparency.
Some numbers may have a 0 placed as first digit, to maintain column form in this format.
The 1st column is Labor Force minus both Unemployed and Involuntary Part-Time. This is also Employed minus Involuntary Part-Time. This is not a figure identified by BLS, so I will call it Actually Fully Employed. This is Employed Full-time plus Voluntary Part-Time.
Not listed, but Civilian noninstitutional Population minus Actually Fully Employed is also a figure avoided by BLS, and I will call it Not Fully Employed, which is Unemployed plus Involuntary Part-Time plus Marginally Attached plus Not In Labor Force. The 2nd column is Not Fully Employed Rate, which is divided by Civilian noninstitutional Population.
The 3rd column is the Civilian Population. 4th column is Labor Force, 5th column is Participation Rate.
After the separation bar, the 7th column is the Increase in Civilian Population from the previous entry. For the entries by year, this is the 12 month Increase. For the entries broken down by month, this is the 1 month Increase.
The 8th column is the Increase in Labor Force from the previous entry.
The 9th column is the Increase in Actually Fully Employed count, from the previous entry.
In the monthly breakdown for 2018, after the second separation bar, the 10th column is the Civilian Population Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 11th column is the Labor Force Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 12th column is the Actually Fully Employed Increase from the entry 12 months prior.
The 13th column is the amount that the 12th column exceeds the 10th column, or the amount of Unemployed that is being chipped away, despite manipulation of other figures.
Figures in thousands.

Something that I had not exactly noticed in the same context:
The difference between the Civ Pop and the Labor Force, or "Those not in the Labor Force" - or Civ Pop minus Labor Force.
Never before the Libtard Lockdowns had this figure exceeded 100 million. Not even during the 2001/2 economic hit, the 2008 Rock-The-Vote Recession, or the 8 years of Obamination stagnated recession.
From April to May 2020, and September 2020, and November to May 2021, the difference has exceeded 100 million.
Under Lord Darth Obiden, only Jun-Aug 2021 were allowed to drop below 100 million.
The Not Fully Employed percentage is finally down to 42.5%, the same as March 2020. Trump had improved it 8% prior to the Fake Election, and Obiden has improved it 2% since then.

Yep, it was.

I love how they're calling the last month's numbers a win when it's still 200k less than they expected the previous month before the abysmal numbers came in.
And they're still ignoring all the people who dropped out.
Unemployment is not under 5% by a longshot.

Layoffs, wages, and labor costs: three measures of the labor Boom

Employment Cost Index (ECI): Wages and Salaries: Private Industry Workers
What is noteworthy about the ECI is that it tracks compensation *normalized for the type of job,* i.e., it isn’t influenced by a different mix of high wage vs. low wage jobs. Dishwashers are compared with dishwashers, and so on.
The Year over Year increase of 4.6% was a record:

Yup. Thanks for showing a graph that illustrates the lies I mentioned.

Quote:Is this one of those things where more than 5% of the people you know are unemployed, therefore the NATIONAL unemployment must be more than 5%? Maybe you know too many people who are unemployable due to their psychological factors, e.g. they are crazy, lazy, drug hazy, lost souls?

No. It's me still calling bullshit.
I called bullshit when Trump said unemployment was lower than it was while he was President, and I'm calling bullshit now.
Unlike you, I actually have a leg to stand on because I'm not a hypocrite like you are.

Quote:Where did you get your still unspecified unemployment numbers? If the source is you and your feelings, it is you full bullshit. Or it could be your mind is hazy from past drinking and past contact with Covid-19. Either could make you think you know far more than you know in the form of delusions of adequacy.
