Knowing many people being unemployed for over a year, I find it difficult to trust this data.

Why is it so difficult to find a job? Every job you apply to has 5-10 people in line. Half of them are ghost jobs.

You can't believe what they say, it will be revised lower.

What a crock. Could it be because people are working two or three jobs just to eat?

[Typical-gamer-dad]

Cooked numbers. It’ll be amended later.

Health care leading the job market shows us how sick we are.

And what is the average pay for these "jobs" ? My guess is $16/hr low pay jobs. The layoffs are in higher $30+/hr jobs.

After the recognition of the Moroccan Sahara by the ally of the Kingdom of Morocco, the United States of America, some parts of the European Union and those hostile to Algeria began to create harassment in Morocco by hindering the development process in which Morocco is participating. The way is now open to the United States and China to fill this void, which will constitute the largest investment in the maritime industry in the region. Because the Kingdom of Morocco does not intend to renew the contract with the European Union, which plays on both sides. Welcome the eternal friends of the Kingdom, and more particularly the United States of America. ✨🌍
