Why American employment data makes no sense

[bill718]

As America moves deeper into the information age, our jobs data remains stuck in 1950's smokestack industrial age. Millions of Millennials and others have ditched their barista jobs at Starbucks, used the internet to educate themselves to become freelance blockchain developers, coders, content writers, data analysts, and other tech savvy, high demand people most with pay in the 100K -300K+ range. Very little of this shows up in the weekly or monthly jobs report on MSNBC. Regardless of one's political leanings, American employment data needs an upgrade to accurately reflect the state of the economy.

Why would they not show up in the jobs reports if they are being paid by a company to do work?

I am guessing the number of undercounted americans on welfare working under the table or who are drug dealers exceeds the number undercounted tech savvy people. Just a hunch

One thing we know is that there is no labor shortage. If we get another huge bunch of retirees things will improve quickly.
