Civilization has always operated on the idea that men must work for it to function properly. When less people willingly work it can be detrimental for future welfare. The way that unemployment is interpreted by the public now is not very accurate. The gig economy has grown massively since 2020, which counts towards labor statistics, but its arguable to say if they should. The number of small or local owned businesses have grown substantially since 2020 - but is that because of a surplus of opportunity or people looking for ways to make additional money? The quality of the labor matters.
