    Yeah I’m seeing 40k but a bunch of other numbers as well, some above 50k. It really comes down to how you measure it but in any case the numbers in the meme don’t make sense.

    BTW though unemployment is not the same as number of people not working. It refers just to people actively looking for a job that aren’t employed.

      I think it’s just hyperbole. The median numbers are accurate enough even if meme was made 5 years ago

        But none of the numbers in the meme are medians… they’re all averages. If they were all medians they wouldn’t change at all.
