Highest Unemployed in These States
Biden Regime Tries to Manipulate the Reporting
According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau’s Pulse Survey:
● 38% of American adults earning less than $25,000 reported feeling depressed or hopeless on most days.
● Today, 17% of all adults feel that way.
● 27% of adults in the lowest income bracket reported not having enough to eat within the last week, three times the food insufficiency rate among all adults.
Between 5.7 million and 7 million people in the United States are not working, but are excluded from the jobless rolls. If they were still counted as jobless members of the labor force, the unemployment rate would jump to between 6.5% and 7.7%.
Herein lies the game the Joe Biden administration, along with Big Media, play with their propaganda and reporting.
With Anthony Fauci and Deep State manipulation, the federal government instituted heavy-handed and cruel lockdowns across most of the economy in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
● Over 17 million people became unemployed, plus an additional 8 million people immediately left the labor force.
● As the economy slowly reopened across the country, people began returning to work. Some of those who left the labor force also returned and eventually found jobs, further reducing the unemployment rate.
● However, there were also millions who left the labor market entirely and never returned.
● They were no longer counted among the unemployed, nor in the labor force. This pushed the unemployment rate down even more.
● Today, while the Biden regime touts that the average American worker’s weekly paycheck has increased $147 since their time office, in reality those earnings buy $51 less because prices have risen so much faster than incomes.
● This has caused many Americans to work extra hours or pick up a second job.
● Among renters, more than one-fifth of them have taken on another job in order to pay their rent on time in 2024 so far.
That’s noteworthy because whenever someone is hired, whether it’s that person’s first or fourth job, it’s still counted as an additional payroll in the government’s monthly job statistics. With millions of Americans picking up additional work to try and make ends meet for their families, the number of jobs has risen much faster than the number of people employed.

California’s unemployment rate has gone up to 5.3% from 4.5% in March 2023.
While New York currently struggles with a 6.2 jobless rate, poverty rates in the most troubling communities range from 18.8% to over 60%.
Across the United States, there are 6.1 million Americans unemployed resulting in a national unemployment rate of around 3.9%. Notably, this is the highest figure seen since January 2022.
When workers are unemployed, their households lose wages. Fewer people contributing to the economy reduces economic output and growth.
High levels of unemployment also reduces purchasing power, which leads to slower economic growth and could even lead to more unemployment for others.
High levels of unemployment also mean that people have less discretionary income to spend and less money is stimulating the economy. This can lead to slower or even shrinking economic growth, as 70% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) comprises consumer spending.

They told people they would have less and that they would love it, right? People must have had strains of John Lennon’s “Imagine” running through their heads. (I always hated that song.) The reality is stark misery; what a way to wake up.

You got that right. “Imagine no possessions…I wonder if you can…” Just go to a place like Uganda and there it is. Kids made to feel guilty for having anything, that whole minimalist thing. I like simplicity, but that doesn’t mean poverty.
