Unfortunately unemployment numbers don't mean shit if you still can't even pay your rent with your salary.

This focus on unemployment is absurd. It has nothing to do with the wealth gap.

More people working, but always with less wealth, while companies keep getting richer.

We could as a society literally end unemployment at any time by redistributing some of the wealth. We don't because it's more profitable to have people worrying if they will be able to eat every month.
