    I’m saying that the unemployment rate is artificially low as well as being a stupid metric to use, but unfortunately, it’s the metric that powerful entities use to make decisions about manipulating the economy at large.

      There is the published figure and there is the actual number of unemployed people.

      You rightfully point out that the figure is manipulated. I am talking about the actually unemployed people.
