It can also mean really low labor participation rates.

While that is historically low it is up slightly. Employment is up, productivity is down, way down.

Wages are technically up, but not at the pace of inflation, so less buying power

I don't know that employment is up once you factor in the large drop in LFPR

Employment is a lagging indicator. Layoffs are coming.

Inflation is part of the calculation isn’t it?
