Unemployment also includes part-time jobs. Post-ACA implementation, quite a few employers cut non-management hours to 28/week to eliminate group health insurance benefits. This necessitated an additional 20-30% new hires, which made Obama look great on unemployment reduction.
Trump term new hires are mostly minimum wage and/or temp agency hires. Poverty wage jobs will be eliminated in the future by robots and no replacement jobs will be available.
Ben Carson’s bootstrap factory is a bankrupt fiction, and housing codes and zoning laws prevent affordable poverty-level housing. Taxpayers will foot an even bigger bill, first for policing and jailing homeless, and then for Trumpoid crooked contractors who will build shoddy human warehousing at far greater expense than trailers or tiny houses.
My SWAG is that the GOP will use biological warfare to rid themselves of surplus workers, and that it will jump the class divide via uninsured domestics.
