Original Note:
Misleading claim. In 2020, COVID lockdowns artificially reduced demand, causing temporary job loss. As lockdowns eased, pre-existing jobs were re-instated with restored demand. As at 3/2023, 3.2m new jobs have been added at a normal rate (trend). https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2021/article/covid-19-ends-longest-employment-expansion-in-ces-history.htm https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS
