People’s fears of losing their job are at the highest point in a New York Fed survey’s 10-year history, even as the unemployment rate remains low.

      Mostly just posting some accurate information for context

      I also am implying yes that the metric of “number of Americans who are looking for a new job regardless of whether or not they’re currently employed” is kinda bullshit

      And by implication that posting this article in this particular way (with its implied incorrect meaning of “searching for a new job”) is likewise bullshit

      “Unemployment” as a metric is actually bullshit also, for a couple different reasons, but this article I think is probably substantially worse
