I explore how traditional job stats understate underemployment and poverty wages, and what that means for workers, policy, and economic well-being today. Also in this episode: 📉 I break down how the BLS defines employment versus LISEP’s stricter standards—where working one hour still counts as “employed.” 📊 I examine disparities in unemployment based on race, gender, and education—and why certain groups are disproportionately affected. 💰 I explore how inflation, stagnant wages, and gig work complicate our understanding of job sufficiency in America. 📋 I review LISEP’s broader mission to reshape how we define economic health through TRU and related metrics. ⚖️ I look at why many Americans are functionally unemployed despite “having jobs,” and how that affects long-term economic stability. ----------- 📥 Subscribe to the Pulse Newsletter for Weekly Market News ➤ https://thepulse.beaviswealth.com/Courses & Training - The Investing Academy ➤ https://bit.ly/theinvestingacademy Follow Us On Blossom ➤ https://getblossom.page.link/brandonInstagram ➤ https://bit.ly/3OechghLinkedIn ➤https://bit.ly/3RLndF7Website ➤ https://www.beaviswealth.com----------- 🏦🇨🇦 Sign Up Bonuses 💰💸: ► Wealthsimple Trade ($50 cash bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/Vmome3► Wealthsimple Invest Robo-Advisor (Receive a $50 sign up bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/oqQqKm► NEO Financial (Cash Back Credit Card) - https://bit.ly/3yJqb4s► Questrade Online Brokerage (Get $50 in commission-free trades) - https://bit.ly/3OhrRrK The above affiliate links are provided for your convenience, and if you click on a link and end up purchasing a product or service, this channel may receive compensation for the referral.
