It was hilarious to me that they described it as easy to get a job, as I’ve recently watched several friends and my partner struggle to get minimum wage jobs. I refuse to believe that the numbers aren’t carefully chosen to save face.

Yeah, it’s not easy to get a job. At all. Maybe I’m insulated in a white-collar bubble, but it seems like there’s a pervasive sense of ‘quiet desperation’ across all industries.

WaPo is using data that government published. Your annedoctal observations are insignificant to what Joe instructed the bureau to write the data even if it is "inaccurate". I foresee WaPo will do a surprise pikachu face sometime in Q3.
