For anyone unfamiliar with welfare benefits or unemployment you have to apply for jobs, and thus are included in the labor force as “actively looking for work”. Your complaints about people being paid to stay home are just so much bullshit and you aren’t able to support them with any data. Your anecdote is about trying to find a housecleaner whose rate you didn’t agree with.

Ha. How many people have you tried to hire over the past 2 years? Here is how it generally goes: Post ad. Get about 100 "responses". Reach out to them to set up interviews, maybe 15 actually respond. Set up 15 interviews, maybe 3 show up, all of whom are vastly unqualified. Said 3 people all ask for wildly absurd compensation relative to an actual qualified candidate, let alone their underqualifications. Give in and offer jobs to 2 of them at their requested compensation. Maybe 1 of them shows up on the first day of work.

But hey, 99 people get to say they "applied for a job" when they go to collect their next check.

We're finally getting unemployment audit requests from NC DES ..... for April of 2020. Almost 2 years after the fact. It is a complete fucking joke. But carry on in your fantasy world.
 
if you're using a web service like indeed.com, 2&2 is not wrong about a dearth of applicants who are not qualified or even physically close to the job (and rarely respond when a "hey, are you looking to relocate" question is asked of them)

Don’t know how many times I need to repeat this: Your anecdotes don’t prove anything. Unemployment insurance claims are *lower* than they were before the pandemic.

So far we have someone cosplaying a rural American who can’t find someone to clean multiple house of his and blaming I guess the trailer guy that only drinks gin and then a certified asshole with questionable business practices that for the life of him can’t figure out why anyone would want to interact let alone work with such a miserable person.
 
SNAP beneficiary rates - lower now than they were pre-pandemic

pretty impressive how none of this responds to the arg that people are being paid to stay home.

It was also irrelevant to my point, which was that people applying for jobs (no matter how sincerely) are included in labor participation market figures. The people who are “dropping out of the labor force and not returning” aren’t collecting unemployment insurance, otherwise unemployment insurance claims and SNAP beneficiary numbers would be rising instead of falling.

it's almost like 2&2 refuses to use the data presented and is much happier with the security of the explanation that may have had more purchase a few months ago.

Donkey Dick already illustrated how the "data presented" by Comrade MDMH is not on point to the issue. It ignores a huge segment of the otherwise available workforce that, under normal circumstances, would be actively participating. But the government is incentivizing them not to, provided they meet some minimal hurdles that nobody is actively or effectively monitoring.

You are lying, plain and simple. You’re lying. There are less people on unemployment than before the pandemic, there are less people on SNAP benefits than before the pandemic. This small “segment of the workforce” whom you are referencing are either dead, retired, or they are home with their children.
 
Dril already identified this phenomenon that is commonly referred to as “inventing a guy to get angry about”
