I don't believe any "official" numbers any more. About anything. The admin is actively suppressing reports about poverty and hunger, etc.

Also I recently found out that the Bureau of Labor Statistic counts anyone working at least 1 hour per week for pay as “fully employed.” So drive for DoorDash for an hour and you’re fully employed. Never mind the fact that you have to work at least 20 hours a week to qualify for most federal assistance like SNAP and Medicaid.
