The new youth unemployment numbers now exclude students. In school. In China's notoriously challenging education system. Shocking. Massively corrupt. Politicized. Terrible. Basically communism.

Get a grip. Turns out, as your population increasingly pursues higher education, fewer youth are looking for jobs.

Unemployment data always excluded students and everyone else outside of job seekers?

Edit: OP is lying, don’t believe unsourced stuff you read on Lemmy
