Wacky statistics collection, wacky results.

In the middle of a pandemic where countless shops and businesses are forced to close, and we are being told that unemployment is falling? I guess that goes together with the decreasing number of daily infected people in Tokyo. It seems you can just make up any statistic you like!

Jobs numbers worldwide are massaged. Japan routinely prints low low numbers.

My son at uni does several mornings restocking shelves at his local supermarket-he is one of the employed?

Separate data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare showed that the job availability ratio in July increased to 1.15 from 1.13 a month earlier, rising for the second month in a row, meaning that there were 115 job openings for every 100 job seekers.
On the job boards you see these positions: Every third Tuesday of the month; 8:15 to 11:45, one year contract, possibility of renewal.
Are these the positions they are counting? How long will this, and other governments , use statistical trickery to semi conceal the bleak realities of the gig economy?
