Would love to read that but it's behind the paywall and the NYT isn't worth the tiny about of bandwidth it took to click the link in the first place. Perhaps, you could enlighten us on what is discussed in the article?Quote:

Ok, thanks.Quote:

And, ok. I’ll admit an error that I made in stating that it was due to less people in the workforce. That was based on an earlier story I read this morning.
But Trump had a 3.5% rate with the same number of people in the workforce in February 2020 as now which has returned to prepandemic level.
Trump > Biden

Fact is trump turned out to be the worst jobs president in history. So when it's goes down to 3.49 in a few months, will you be singing Biden's praises? That'll be the day.
Only because of a once in a lifetime pandemic Bobbie. 3.5% unemployment in 2/20 and lowest minority unemployment in history. Fact.Quote:

In fact, the elderly population from ages 65 to 74 has been dying at a higher rate.
The finding has sweeping and profound ramifications for the evaluation of Covid response policies, such as the advocacy of universal vaccination regardless of risk or natural immunity. Since the elderly population is rapidly approaching more than 99% of the population being “fully vaccinated,” it is a critical determination of the utility of vaccines in the broader policy picture."
Does this data fit with what you saw?
