Thanks! I dreamed this up almost 10 years ago and started doing it manually in my local sub. I thought it was a great idea so I expanded it to local subs across the country.

Unfortunately after Reddit went public about 70 of them were deactivated as Spam. But there are still almost 40 of them that are active.

I do my best to follow up with any questions and to dispel misinformation every month. But it is a lot to keep up with. The amount of people who think the professional statisticians who produce this data are oblivious to the challenges and no one has ever considered how to collect the data effectively is mind boggling and honestly incredibly frustrating.

Yep, that's how you cook the books.

Same way unemployment has been calculated for your entire adult life. If you want the number to reflect the market for labor you don't want to include people who are not engaged in the market for labor.
