They really need to taper back the unemployment benefits. There are a ton of job openings around where I live and unfortunately lots of places have to hire foreign students to meet the workforce.

330 mill is everyone...children, babies, elderly...etc

pop over age 21 is like 190m or something...and that still includes elderly

Lol. But they think one million people going back to work when half the country has quit is some type of accomplishment.

Right, but that's not how unemployment rates have ever been calculated.

look up the demographics, there is not 170 million children and elderly that’s ludicrous.

the "adult population"

>18 years - 209 mill
>21 years - 196 mill

and that still doesn't subtract the elderly or retired
