I saw a snippet of NBC or CNN or whatever with their pundits discussing the debate and the pro Kamala guy was like "We are recovering, 16 million new jobs!". And I just got so angry because these people just blatantly disregard reality. How many of these jobs pay enough to afford rent, food, gas, etc in there area? How many of them provide health insurance that is actually worth a damn? How many of them are permanent and even have benefits?

How many of those jobs are previous high wage full time positions cut into multiple low wage part time jobs, when they quote new job creation it’s almost meaningless

I'm pretty sure a good chunk of companies put these job openings up with no intention on actually ever filing them. Like every fast food place is 2 people per shift now.
