Employment is up, but the number of employed people are down?

Does anyone want to try to reconcile that?

because nobody wants to work in 227k jobs that pays 25 hours per week, at 15$ per hour

Tough job market with the gains coming from folks taking on a 2nd job to make ends meet

either disenfranchised, or cycled to another employer, or just gave up completely

Best to track full-time employment because that gives a much better picture of the real health of the labor market, especially from the workers perspective. Unadjusted we lost over 500k full-time jobs compared to October. Biden's economy peaked in July '22 at 135.86m full-time jobs, we are now over 2.5m below that level. To compare, in his first 3 years Trump's economy was growing full-time employment by 2m jobs a year.
