Original Note:
Post is from an elected official missing important context and misleading. An honest and accurate representation of unemployment data would be comparing pre-pandemic numbers from right before COVID shutdowns in February 2020 at 3.5% to February 2024 at 3.9% https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2020/19-point-2-percent-of-the-unemployed-had-been-jobless-for-27-weeks-or-more-in-february-2020.htm https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2024/unemployment-rate-at-3-9-percent-in-february-2024.htm
