“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

    what is the actual rate of unemployment within the technology industry? surely it’s higher than any of the numbers that are being reported by the government.

    if I run out of money before finding a job, I’m killing myself

      Everything is higher than the government reports.

      Trump fired the guy that reported the unemployment numbers for reporting accurate numbers. I assume everything since is propaganda.

        It was propaganda before, it didn’t include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren’t actively seeking a job.

        Trump’s issue wasn’t that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren’t far enough from reality.

          I feel like “the job market sucks so hard that I gave up looking” definitely should be included in the report if it’s supposed to be any real indication of economic health
