unemployment rate have something to do with not having enough workers? The ones that have dropped out of looking aren't getting unemployment, are they? So they wouldn't count in the Pukes narrative.

I realize that some would have to stay home and collect unemployment because of childcare etc. Higher wages would be an incentive for some.
