We track labor participation. This month over 600,000 people dropped out of the labor force.
If you are trying to mentally square that many people dropping out of the labor force in a single month with a reported drop in unemployment, well... it don’t make much sense, does it?
I spent years as a non-person while I was job hunting.
That still doesn't address the issue, "we" may well track how many man-hours (can we still say man-hours?) are worked in a month, but it surely isn't widely reported, and even if it were, with the non-persons eliminated from the count, it's as genuine as a ball point pen Leonardo da Vinci autograph.
We need to track how many paid hours are worked divided by the entire population between 16 and 65.
I'd guess a healthy number would be about 15 to 20/week.
