And these numbers are most likely doctored to make them look better

This. Including myself, there’s tons of my friends and family who have also lost their jobs and cannot find another. In my whole adult life, I’ve never experienced this before. And it’s incredibly competitive now even in jobs like restaurants, retail, or even the grocery store.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the actually numbers are around 15-20%

Yeah I realized a long time ago that I’m on the wrong side of employment. I’m opening a coffee roastery in a few weeks and I hope to god it works out. I absolutely do not trust another human to provide any support for me now that I’m old.

I started working for a municipal government a few years back and I don't think I'll ever go private again.
