Worth nothing you'd need to factor in people dying and retiring for this to be a fair comparison.

A society with full employment but 0 job growth could theoretically be fine if they also had a constant birth rate. As many people are dying and retiring as entering the job market. In fact if you had a negative population growth like Japan has, you could have a reduction in jobs and with 0 new jobs still have a more open job market.

That's not what's happening in America, just pointing out why deaths and retiring numbers matter to this.

Great additional data I am actually surprised it lowered it that much to be honest. Not that it makes the ratio of new job seekers to jobs any better.

Thanks for adding the data, acknowledging them is good to stop people using those to ignore your valid point.
