Labor Market Forecast created 2 years ago in 2020 (Jan) vs Actual Numbers-Differences-Not bad forecasting, but I have to figure out how to make adjustments to the unemployment based on a rise in the participation rate.Remember a tick-up in unemployment during rapid job growth is always positive it means more people are CHOOSING to enter the Labor Market and Look for work.This makes me very happy for the 99% Keep coming back to the US Labor Market :) More people More Output More Income.
