More like 7 years. The workforce participation rate is the only number that matters. I don't care about your games of "well if we don't count everyone unemployed no one is unemployed".

Is that line going up or down lol

The unemployment rate is not the best measure, you're right. But the point is that it's improving substantially, whichever metric you pick.

Lol.

The line is trending around crap. Go ahead and zoom out to what happened in 2008. You told a lie before and I called you out on it with data. Accept it or lol some more but you aren't convincing anyone what they can see with their own eyes. Lol

data

I don't think this means what you think it means either. You're just going waaaaaaaah economy bad I can't hear your data waaaaaaah

Data shows the economy is improving under Biden. Deal with it.

Workforce participation rate

Is improving

No it's hovering around crap. Call me when we hit 2007 levels.

Then you'd be complaining it's not higher than that.

Oh look we got a mind reader over here. Why don't you defend your point instead of engaging with hypotheticals about what people who disagree with you would say? You know attack the argument not the person.

The real unemployment rate is horrible. How I may or may not react to a good rate does not mean the rate isn't horrible.
