The jobs report says that we added more jobs than expected last month but that unemployment is also higher than expected. How does that math work?

More people working second, third, fourth jobs, while more people not working any?

This.

Probably a lot of fudged stats as well just like CPI.

They measure different data points.

Unemployment rate is calculated from data provided by state employment agencies. So it basically counts everyone collecting unemployment benefits and/or using state job search services.

Nonfarm payrolls is derived from the BLS's Household and Establishment surveys.

Yeah, Biden’s job statistics are indeed a special exercise in creativity

People be going down multiple fiat mines just to stack corn & eat.

TBF - they're probably just trying to eat & consume something that helps them forget they're a slave. They probably should be stacking though.
