Employed people amount can go up, even as the unemployment figure increases. Think things through, don't be an ANC voter...

Coolaid, seems you are an ANC voter.

If if we lose 2% year on year jobs and gain 0.2% year on year new jobs. Do your zumalator count that as a year on year employment increase ? You do realize that our unemployment increases dont just stem from people who never had a job but they actually increase cause people are losing their jobs at the same time.

Your zumalator methimetika would have made sense if unemployment increases were completely void of employed people losing their jobs, they are not.

To put it in a different light for us to have a 0.2% employment year on year growth that would mean from the previous year employed individuals fewer people lost their jobs vs new people gaining jobs. Absolutely bullshit logic it does not reflect our overall increase in unemployment year on year at all.

Seriously, think about it as you would so eloquently state yourself.

EDIT: as I thought , they are fudging numbers massively. The latest reports actually claim our unemployment rate dropped by 0.2% which reflects the 0.2% employment growth they reported ie. have absolutely fkall to do with what you suggested captain coolaid.

27.7% in 2017
27.5% in 2018

Neither of these numbers are based in reality either, totally fudged numbers pulled out of their asses.

I'm just saying there could have been a 100* employed people in 2017, and 10 000 unemployed people. Now in 2018 there are a 105 employed people and 15 000 unemployed. So the amount of people employed has increased, has it not? Yet unemployment has increased way more. Still doesn't mean there are not more employed people. If you do not understand this concept, you are the Zuma.

I'm not going on about the facts of this report, just the concept.
