I see Biden left everyone employed so Trump's been laying off.
I'm now sure that you're a full time republican 😉 and that's your job 😜
Look at the timing of that low point. Do you think it was unrelated to covid lockdowns?
Why are you so defensive about the Democrats? Also, it was under Trump that the economy was initially shut down, so maybe you should recalibrate who you think I'm criticizing.

Not defending them for sure. I've no affiliation to the Dems nor to the reps. Just trying reciprocate things as Trump isn't liked by anyone outside USA (for now) for he just keeps threatening everyone with tariffs.
And you're right that came about Covid but that was good, please read the chart again. The highest is the anxiety, the worse environment it represents for employment. The lower it is, the best environment for employment it represents.
So it seems the current environment for jobs isn't looking good but it was better even in the Covid times.
Now am I missing something?
reply
I think you are missing something. The chart isn't about expectation for levels of unemployment, at least not how I read it, but for changes in unemployment.
Right now, 66% of people are expecting there to be more unemployment over the next year. That makes sense, because unemployment has been low and there's a lot of economic uncertainty on the horizon.
When the economy was locked down, unemployment was extremely high and people were hoping for a return to normal, so very few expected unemployment to increase.

Ahh got it. This makes a solid sense. However I wasn't missing on the changes in unemployment scenario. I just wanted to uphold that the rise in job anxiety represents a grimmer outlook.
But now it's clear, the data may be switched in a way to confuse normies like me.
Thank you so much.
Trump is gaining me more knowledge than Biden could ever do. I now think I should give the man some respect. TBH, I don't show it but I believe Trump is 100 times better than Biden for America.

I'm hopeful that he'll also be 100x better for the rest of the world. We'll see.

Oh! I forgot to add ...100x better for USA. He, however missed another 900x by not being a true Bitcoin president.
