This is exactly what I want to look at right now, as we continue to see the product of the expansion pipeline. I agree, this metric isn't perfect - opinion on "toughness" is like when we ask patients about their quality of life and make treatment decisions based on those findings. It's not perfect, but sometimes, it's the best we have.
As I said previously, what I really want to know is the "behind the scenes" to the binary metric of "yes employed/no employed", and how that has changed over time. If people are working 5x as hard to get a job in 2019 compared to 2010, that's a valuable metric. This is the only thing that comes close to that right now.
Is it spin to see 70% are neutral-to-negative about their experiences in the job market and think that's bad? If you think it's spin I obviously can't change your mind. I'm not excited about that data, personally.
