The unemployment rate is currently at a decades-long low.

The unemployment rate doesn’t track people who have dropped out of the labor market altogether (they’re known as “disgruntled workers” and don’t get counted in the unemployment rate) and inflation is soaring along with interest rates.

The Biden administration also changed the definition of “recession” in order to cynically avoid negative headlines. These are not marks of a healthy economy.

They’re called “discouraged workers” ya corny ass, and when they are included we’re still near a 10 year low https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/U4RATENSA
