     @georgetakei I dunno, 20% more unemployed since biden took office (last i checked a month ago anyway) doesnt sound all that "strong" to me.

     @freemo @georgetakei share your source, Mr. Freemo. Who says unemployment is up 20%?? Besides you of course.

     @JustG

     The official us government numbers as of a month ago. It was at 3.2% at the start of bidens career and was up to 3.8% as of the last time i checked. That is a 20% increase.

     @badken @georgetakei

     The data you just posted shows clearly the 20% increase. It was at 3.2% at the start of his presidency. As of about a month ago it was at 3.8%. That is a 20% increase. It is reflected int he chart you just posted (as you can see the uptick at the end there).

     @freemo @georgetakei Where'd you check? Because this doesn't look like 20% more unemployed (https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment.htm):

     @badken So you found out you were wrong, and instead of using the proper normalized rate you decided to win the argument by using dishonest unnormalized numbers? Yea dont do that.

     The non normalized numbers include things like people fleeing the USA due to economic refugee status or even just because they want to. These numbers have no place. Similarly new babies born would be included in such a figure and likewise a reason we dont use it.

     @freemo @georgetakei I initially posted the chart of the unemployment rate since 2003, but I thought the absolute numbers of unemployed people since 2021 would show a clearer picture, so I edited my post to reflect that. In absolute terms, there are less unemployed people than in January 2021.

     Even looking at the unemployment rate, it was 6.3% in Jan 2021, not 3.2%, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

     @badken I shared, this is my second time... Same place your data comes from. It is published by the US governement. I literally said it was the same data as what you first posted.

     @freemo I’m not sure what you’re on about. I used the same source for all the data I linked to. I’ve asked where you got your info, and you haven’t shared. I’m not interested in discussing in circles, or arguing about … well anything, really, so I’m out.
