So we cripple the economy with a forced lockdown, vaporizing millions of jobs and then as those jobs slowly reopen we count them as “new” to make the numbers look good.
Remember also, once your unemployment payments run out you are no longer considered to be “unemployed”, even if you are still not working. It really is a meaningless metric.
