I don’t believe those who went into this past election taking pride in the unemployment numbers understood that the near-record low unemployment figures — the figure was a mere 4.2 percent in November — counted homeless people doing occasional work as “employed.” But the implications are powerful. If you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), the percentage is actually 23.7 percent. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today — hardly something to celebrate.
Any fucking questions
Do you have some reading about where or how you came to that conclusion? I'm not overly doubting you, I'm excited to read.
Edit: Wow, I'm kind of an idiot. I don't remember seeing that in the description.

It's the article I'm replying too here. (Also the top comment has a link to a site the writer has made which tracks it over time)
Crap, I'm an idiot. I speed-read part of the description and just now properly read it.
It happens. Steve Bannon's flood the zone is a deliberate tactic.
