    BINGO. Yes, 2-3 job having people are counted 3x :).

    Otherwise, how else would the numbers be so abysmally out of touch ;)?

    Does the 1% already know that? Yes.

      No, they are literally not counted 3x. You can easily look up the formula. Is it a perfect metric? Of course not, but no need to bring in disinformation.

        I don’t know the stats being referred to, but if there is a number stated like ‘x number of jobs added’, where is it said that it doesn’t include people with multiple jobs? I’ve seen reports a few times about ‘jobs added’, and it seems to be referring to positions being filled, couldn’t it be one person in multiple positions?

          That is not what this statistic is about though.
