Everything is higher than the government reports.
Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.
It was propaganda before, it didn't include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren't actively seeking a job.
Trump's issue wasn't that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren't far enough from reality.
I feel like "the job market sucks so hard that I gave up looking" definitely should be included in the report if it's supposed to be any real indication of economic health
