It includes the official unemployment numbers AND the ShadowStats numbers.
For the record, I believe that the employment numbers have improved over the past few years, but there is no question that the job market is saturated with workers, many of whom are overqualified for the available positions (to discredit the myth that people “just need to get a better education”).
There is hope, though, as some of these minimum wage laws go into effect, trade agreements are better scrutinized, and currency manipulations are curbed. And if the tide is turning back toward a more pro-labor environment, which seems to be happeing, things could really start to improve. It’s long past time that wages started moving up because our purchasing power has most definitely been eroding over the years.
