In Poland you are not counted as unemployed in statistics if you are not registered in job office. And the job offices do a multitude of tricks to make people unregister (mainly they waste tons of your time and money forcing you to answer very dubious offers in far away locations), so even in the very shit 2000’s they were patting their backs because “unemployment was falling”.
The US government does a similar slight of hand in that if you’re unemployed for long enough they assume you’ve “left the job market” and no longer count as unemployed.
In Denmark they used to hide youth unemployment by forcing unemployed youths into education they had no interest in and they were not able to complete. Young men were sent to trade schools, young women were sent to social and healthcare caretaker school. The result was that the young people wasted their time and experienced new educational defeats while also making it harder for teachers to teach and for other students to learn and giving these schools a reputation as “loser schools”.
Do any of these guys ever admit that unemployment is down because so many people are stringing together multiple jobs to try to make rent?

Mandatory education? Zenz would spin it into Danish genocide.
