Tim Scott: "Our employment? Almost at full employment, 4.1 percent. What else do we need to have this economy on fire? We need lower interest rates."

It was even lower under Biden. Chances are the current number is a lie based on all the companies laying off from tariff talk, and AI replacing people. Add in all the government jobs where workers were told to stay home on paid leave or put on Govt Severance, and those numbers aren’t reflective yet.

It wasn’t necessarily a bad number then, and it’s not necessarily a bad number now. Unemployment will not and should not ever reach zero. My question would be has there been a change in underemployment and has there been a change in the labor force.

The purpose of that comment wasn't to speculate whether or not 4.1% is a good or bad number, it was to point out the shameless Republican hypocrisy. They claimed it was a bad number when the democrats were in power but it's suddenly a good number now that Trump is in power.

Zero unemployment is absolutely achievable through a federal job guarantee program. It would set a floor for wages and benefits and eliminate an inhuman system that aims to control prices by unemploying people.

Yeah was about to say, I live in an area where most of the businesses only operate for 6 months of the year. When the season ends these workers go on unemployment until they can find work. 0% unemployment is impossible.

Did there is a federal job guarantee there is definitionally no involuntary unemployment. If you want a job you need only go to the locally administered, federally funded job guarantee office. If you do not go to the office or some other job, you do not wish to have paid employment. That’s math.

Our unemployment percentage doesn’t separate out “voluntary” from “involuntary” in part because those are deeply difficult distinctions. With both a federal jobs and a tight labor market generally, many people are unemployed because they are not just looking for a job, but instead a good job
jul 31, 2025, 8:36 pm • 1 0 • view
At least all of the jobs guarantee programs I have seen are about offering a reasonable floor for jobs, but someone in the middle of their career often will want to look for a job far above that floor because it’s better for their career & long term finances.

No one actually gives a shit about employment what matters is income because that is how you actually buy the shit you need to survive. A UBI fulfills that requirement. You are just making excuses for false scarcity.
jul 30, 2025, 3:36 pm • 1 0 • view
A UBI can't take the place of employment. It can make losing a job less catastrophic, but we will always need humans in the workforce.

UBI is a floor. Everyone with a UBI has an incentive to take a job to earn more than the UBI. There will still be people with jobs with UBI even as AI can do more. The spending of UBI even creates more jobs for people, because people will still want human-produced goods and services.

I think people want to work, want to be useful. With UBI they may have a voice in which work they do. I expect many entrepeneurs would welcome an opportunity to turn a hobby into a viable business and not have to worry about their kids starving or losing the house. As a society we would benefit.

The basic reality is that we have become so productive that there is not enough real work to do at least not that the rich care about doing. That's why we destroy food in order to create artificial scarcity The problem isn't productivity it's distribution. Folks don't need more work they need money

If everyone who wanted a job had one, if I grew unhappy with my job, where would I go? If I wanted to move up where would I go? I do support a government jobs program, but like military service, that wouldn’t be included in unemployment numbers. Zero unemployment is only possible in serfdom.

Yeah, no. There are copious logistical issues with being able to fully employ literally every working age person. I mean, technically, you could have a seasonal worker travel around the US throughout the seasons, but that's unlikely to be practical

Unemployment is defined as someone who wants paid work having it available. If you have a federally funded, locally administered job guarantee office then you have definitionally eliminated unemployment. Anyone who wants paid work has it available. If they don’t take the offer they don’t want work!

Yes and no. There are six different unemployment rates generally recognized by the BLS. Persons working a federally guaranteed office could easily fall into one of the unemployment categories. I have an MBA. If I dug ditches for the federal government, I would be underemployed. Which would be U-6

Indeed, which is why they made up fake jobs to pretend that everybody was employed even though they weren’t actually doing anything meaningful or productive. But in a capitalist system, this is impossible as there is a never ending quest for efficiency aka how to do more with fewer people

They also made up fake factories. One "funny" story: In Ostrava, in northern Moravia (Czechoslovakia), there were two factories. One produced steel pipes, the other processed those new pipes (which couldn't find market) as scrap metal and sent the material back to be made into pipes again.

Trying to get to 100% employment was one of the reasons why the Soviet block failed, that is, why it has such low productivity. People focus on USSR, but the communists also took developed economies and ran them into the ground, e.g., Czechoslovakia.
