The Employment Situation-August 2021 (bls.gov)

Comments

The US Jobs deficit was 9.5 million in January 2021. This is the shortfall between jobs held in February 2020.

Over 2 million illegal immigrants entered the US since January 2021. I expect they will take government welfare in addition to food service, landscaping, construction and drug cartel jobs. Afghan refugees could exceed 100,000.
