What a blinkered view of the employment market and people's lives.

Ask the person working two part-time, no-benefits jobs and an Uber gig and still not breaking even every month if they're fully employed.

I hate economists who are like this.

That

Warsh responds by pointing to the low rate: “If Americans who want a job can find a job, then by the Fed’s measure we’re at full employment.”

This gets at a curious characteristic of the current market. We’re used to thinking that the economy needs to add every month to keep up with the growing labor force.
