I haven't conducted a detailed analysis of the Dept of Labor website lately. But, are there 170 million people working in the US right now? Wouldn't 170 million jobs lost be near 99.9% unemployment?

Hmmm - 200% unemployment?
So, if regular "unemployment" is predicated on the fact that you don't have a job, but are actively searching for one, would 200% unemployment mean that everyone was unemployed, and was proactively declining employment that is being offered to them?
"Proactively Unemployed" - I think that's a new term. I should give it a try sometime.

That is pretty for how bizarre it is. Because the current adult (18+) population is about 230,000,000 people so yeah, that would be an unemployment rate of 74%.
Ooookay.
I kept waiting for a correction, like she meant "1.7 million," but as far as I can tell, hasn't happened.

Well that's a pretty huge whopper to make and stand by, but apparently that is THE thing to do this week!
