    To be fair to the article, they don’t talk much about stocks or GDP. They’re mostly focused on unemployment, wages, and inflation. It’s worth questioning how effective those metrics are given how the data is collected tho.

      Seriously. Just an example off the top of my head: people stop being counted as unemployed if they’ve been unemployed for long enough. That’s just one way they manipulate the numbers for whatever narrative they’re trying to spin.
