The government doesn’t count people who have stopped looking for work and are no longer on the official unemployment “books.”
This article is complete propaganda.
Yup.
They also don't count people who have lost their long-term full time job, and are having to pay the bills working at various temp/part-time gigs. An engineer working as a supermarket cashier may count as "employed" in the minds of statisticians, but it doesn't give the rest of us a warm fuzzy.
