Is there any statistics reporting or data on the amount of people who are in positions like this? I get that it’s somewhat hard to quantify, but honestly it is deeply frustrating to see chuds and libs both plug their ears as they look at household salary and employment rates as the golden calf of working class well-being.
I think you can get statistics depending on what parameters you use. My office averages around 3000 people passing by each month. Most of them are passing by each month to reclaim benefits.
Those 3000 people are not included in statistics for long term unemployment because technically they work from time to time. Long term unemployed people don’t visit us because they don’t need to update their files. And this is just 1 office. My city alone has five, for example. Just from our instance. There are three different instances just like us with their own offices.
Sadly I don’t think hard figures can be pulled from somewhere right now but I might inquire management to see if it can be done. Would be interesting to see.
It doesn’t help that the way the U.S actually wipes numbers for “unemployed” off the board after a certain period of time too. Literally obvious number-tilting.

I used to use shadowstats.com, but it looks like they have stopped updating it the past couple years.
