The real unemployment rate was likely an additional 3% higher. This happened in April as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thestreet.com/.amp-mishtalk/mishtalk/economics/surprise-the-bls-admits-another-phony-jobs-report “If the workers who were recorded as employed but absent from work due to "other reasons" (over and above the number absent for other reasons in a typical May) had been classified as unemployed on temporary layoff, the overall unemployment rate would have been about 3 percentage points higher than reported (on a not seasonally adjusted basis).” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 6/5/2020 MoL Scores: Methodology and disclaimer: MoL score is a simple metric for measuring rate of spread of the novel coronavirus within communities. The metric was developed by mission and TLO and has not been subjected to academic peer review. The MoL looks at a trailing average of daily new cases and compares this to trailing active cases within the community. These rankings do not represent the opinion of anyone other than mission and TLO and should not be taken as advice of any kind. Please note while the numbers themselves are objective calculations, smugness and Taylor Swift lyrics may factor into our commentary and decisions on tiers.

TakeTheBallDeep Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I’ve been in the Ozarks this week and no one down here cares anymore (not saying that’s right or wrong) but if you’re tired of sitting inside, come here. I think people have just had enough and want to get back to living. Talked to a lot of older people down here and most have the same response with they don’t have many years left in general, so they are done staying inside Bars and restaurants are like this never happened down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Kind of scary numbers in a handful of states (Arizona, North Carolina, Oklahoma the top examples). I'm not really sure how to explain why Arizona for instance is being hit as hard as it is lately. I can understand why states in the northeast with higher immunity levels and more mask wearing are doing better, but what separates Arizona from Nevada for example? Overall US numbers continue to get better and better but there are pockets that are getting worse even when adjusted for testing. Concerning.
