But how many hikikomori are there?

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?

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

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!

Wacky statistics collection, wacky results.
