Wednesday, March 20, 2024

WASHINGTON, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though the job market expanded in February, a smaller percentage of those positions are paying a living wage — resulting in the highest "functional unemployment" rate in two-and-a-half years, according to the monthly True Rate of Unemployment (TRU) report by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Key Points: 
  • The February TRU jumped 1.6 percentage points, from 23.3% to 24.9% — the highest level since July 2021.
  • By contrast, the official unemployment rate issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics increased only marginally, from 3.7% to 3.9%.
  • This is one of the largest month-over-month TRU increases since 1995, the earliest year LISEP has data.
  • "Headline economic statistics paint an incomplete picture — often bordering on fiction — for   middle- and working-class families," Ludwig said.
