If the data is valid, and the argument is sound, it does not matter who is making it
So then, you agree the economist in my Twitter link is qualified and her argument is valid. Thank you for clarifying that.

Is this the reason unemployment is so low but there are help wanted signs everywhere?

There are help wanted signs around everywhere because the unemployment rate is low.

That is straight up gaslighting. I am doing the opposite of gatekeeping, I am opening the gates. The facts in this report is there are two accepted surveys for the jobs numbers, the Establishment Survey and the Household Survey. They are wildly out of sync, and this discrepancy has to be explained

The labor force participation rate is at record lows last I heard. Probably a lot of people finding ways to be professional grifters like the president and his son, instead of going out and getting an honest job. I'm sure universal basic income and forcing people like me who don't have student loans or a college degree to pay the loans of those who do will drastically improve the situation... I'm sure it will work great for reducing all these shortages and shocking inflation reports we are dealing with on a regular basis. As a business owner, I'm honestly sick and tired of raising my prices every 3 months to stay on top of inflation, which is only going to get more difficult to do as Joe Biden continues to destroy the economy.

And I have posted an explanation which, for some reason, some people in this thread don't like the explanation.

Something is fishy here. Last time we had such unemployment rates there weren’t signs everywhere like this. I am not buying it.

Hourly wages up 5.2%, Bidenflation 11%. Simple math shows the problem.

I've been seeing loads of help wanted signs around me even when Trump was president. And heck, even in the later years of Obama's presidency.
