Granted, but if the stats are being skewed to make the economy look good, so would stats from other years because the government always wants everything to look good. Same goes for people being underemployed - I've been hearing that since at least the 90s. The truth is that unemployment right now are not historically high - everybody just wants to feel like their experience is unprecedentedly horrible. It's really not. And again, this isn't taking the side of greedy billionaires, it's just the truth. We should all be on the side of truth - even if it contradicts a meme.
