Maybe I’m wrong, but in the U.S. and Canada, don’t they only count people who are on unemployment benefits? You probably have a lot more people who run out of unemployment and don’t bother answering the question each week about whether they’re working. I know once I stopped getting money, I never logged into the sites again.
 
Yes, the real stat to look at is called Labour Force Participation, which is consistently at around 65% of the overall population. It doesn't include retirees, kids, or people living permanently on welfare or benefits, but it also doesn't include long-term unemployed people who have given up even looking for jobs.

As an example, an 18-year-old who spent his last 2 years in high school handing our resumes to places who refuse to hire anyone but "international students", finally gave up before Christmas and is now just living off of student loans or parental charity is officially a "discouraged worker" and is not counted as part of the labour force, so he's not included in the 14% youth unemployment stat. How many kids like that do you want to bet there are?
 
How many adults do you know like that I'm not going to lie before my current job I was unemployed a fucking year trying to find something.

When I lived in Ontario when I first came to Canada I lived in a place called Midland look it up it's actually looked at as one of the worst places to live in all of Canada simply because of jobs numbers. I was basically out of work for years there.

Thank goodness my wife had an okay job why we moved there but man I tell you that played a number on my psyche.

It is so obvious politicians do not care about young people (or people in general) unless non White third world riff raff. We do not need any TFW's, so called students who are mainly fake students, all the jeet scammers etc. It is a cold day in hell when I see a White kid working at a gas station, corner store, fast food or any other entry level job or even White people working at banks, insurance offices or many many other places these days....

I hope the day of pitchforks comes soon but not holding my breathe.
