The unemployment numbers look good because of several factors. Remember, only those looking for work are considered. Also, many people have minimum wage jobs that are dead ends and the minimum wage is just not keeping up with prices, so while a part-timer is considered “employed”, such people are the working poor and are at high risk of disaster.
