How am I out of my mind? Americans not in the labor force has hit a record 93.2 million, and the participation rate is now at 1978 levels (around 62.7%). If you believe the bullshit "official" unemployment numbers, you're the one out of your mind. When you no longer count those who have given up looking for work as unemployed, or those underemployed/part time, or those who have to work two or three shitty part time jobs to make up for the one good job they lost, then yes, then job market is just rosy.
There's a reason wages are stagnant/falling in this country. Surprise, it's not because the job market is healthy. 126,000 jobs added in March? Awful.
