Reply to comment by Slave2theGrind in U.S. Hiring Surges With January Gain of 517,000 Jobs by magical_healing

As the article states, work force "participation" (e.g., willingness to employ people) is "well below pre-pandemic levels". That means a lot of jobs are also being eliminated as new ones are created, keeping true employment from growing. Good for you for sensing the incongruity here.

The day after I commented on this Google put forward its layoff plan. Any vindication I may feel is drowned in the pity I feel for all the fellow wageslaves. I have retired (which means I too am out of work, I just am taking steps to not get another).
