It is kind of funny how well worn ruts... tend to channel our thinking...

Markets have slavered over unemployment reports forever... thinking they hold some penumbral power in shading the economy that allows correctly re-calculating the future GDP, job by job...

Yet, in current circumstance... an unemployment report now doesn't mean the same thing that it has historically ? The government is actively encouraging people to go on unemployment... not because they lost their jobs, but in order to KEEP their jobs... as a part of a plan for providing support to small businesses ?

And yet... the market mavens plod on... like horses at a "trail riding" side show... the animals so used to following the rut there's no thinking involved...

That's not me issuing my well considered judgement on the probably utility of "let's keep the wheels on this way" until the virus goes away...

It's just... shouldn't someone point it out ? This isn't the same thing... which you are reporting it to be ?

How many of the jobs reported lost... should instead be reported as kept ?
