    Is that backed up by statistics or just vibes?

    COVID saw unemployment peak at 15%. I haven’t seen anything remotely that bad.

        (not who you’re replying to) I read the beginning of the article, it seemed it was going off subjective information. “It feels worse”. I tried to go back and got pay walled, so unfortunately I couldn’t read it. What information are you suggesting they missed out on? They’re asking for objective data, which is totally fair

          The article is literally about workers’ opinions based on conducted polls, so the title is accurate. Whether or not these agree with labor statistics collected by an increasingly dubious government is a different subject.
