Hmm… not sure whether you’re talking about the unemployment of US or other countries. The US unemployment rate has been going up lately. Lots of lay off since the Fed began hike up the interest rate. See the chart below:
Also, the unemployment number is calculated in the way to make economy appear better than reality. After 6 months, it stops including people who lost the job. The calculation assumes that 100% of people got a new job after 6 months. That’s a huge flaw. Some experts suggested to use the numbers from giant payroll companies such as ADP to get a way more accurate of the employment but the government refused to do it.
