Part 5/8:
Digging further into the nitty-gritty of the BLS statistics reveals startling contrasts. The BLS adjustments purportedly increased the size of the civilian non-institutional population aged 16 and over by 2.9 million, yet it raises eyebrows to claim that this demographic consisted equally among various ethnic groups. Furthermore, it seems implausible that a mere 100,000 individuals from this increased population are considered unemployed.
Questions linger, primarily around the authenticity of the adjustments in light of sudden shifts in demographics, particularly following unprecedented immigration in current years. For instance, if 2.1 million individuals increased the labor force, one cannot accept that unemployment stayed relatively static given the multitude of factors at play.
