Unemployment is typically measured by people seeking unemployment benefits, not by volume of people out of work.

Well I guess the only thing I could possibly say to that woul–

No, but I can almost always check the modlog when a user complains about how their thoughtful, insightful, accurate, and reasonable post or comment was arbitrarily, capriciously, and unjustly removed.
