Imbecile, the BLS measures full time employment by folks who work at least 35 hours a week, not 30...The problem with you is you like counting a person working two and three part-time jobs as two and three jobs.
If it's one person....it's one person employed and only counts as one job. Jobs should only count if they are 40 hrs a week or more, but you folks on the left lowered the qualification for full-time employment to 30 hrs a week so you could pad your numbers. Also, you began counting overtime as a separate job.
Then there's the fact that more people are leaving the work force at a faster rate for one reason or another than ever before. Many have reached age 65....and many are afraid to keep coming to work because of COVID. Now that the mandates are beginning to kick in more people are out of work. People are being sent home by the hundreds of thousands which hasn't been reflected in the jobs reports yet.
I suspect that you folks won't be crowing about the jobs report for the next several months.
