Original Note:
It is dishonest to count people returning back to work, after the pandemic, as new jobs. People employed: Feb 2020 - 158,749,000 (pre-Covid) Jun 2023 - 160,994,000 (+2,145,000) https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS12000000 There are more job totals now, but the % of individuals working remains lower than pre-COVID. https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm
