I think that's a Fake News level term right now. There is nothing about this situation that is about people unable to find employment. It's literally a situation where someone was employed at a job and we come along (as a country) and pull it from their hands, like a parent trying to take away a child's favorite toy. Actually, it's even worse than that: it's really like a parent that has two kids, and they tells one child "you can keep your favorite toy because it's a toy store" and tells the other child "I'm taking your toy away because it's a toy hair salon."
It's not unemployment. It's blocked employment. It's six million or ten million or however-many-million people standing outside the store on Black Friday with their faces pressed against the glass chomping at the bit, and the moment the doors open and the businesses put up the signs that say "Reopen for Business, Help Wanted" there's going to be a madhouse rush of people trying to simultaneously grab their old job and then realize they can probably just go ahead and upgrade at the same time.
This is an excellent analysis. Hopefully some media outlets begin to spread this message, unemployment is so painfully unrepresentative of the situation!
I don't even think we can call it unemployment.

Excellent comment. “Blocked employment” is a much more accurate and descriptive term.
"Blocked employment", just like what happens when Socialists run things.
They are undocumented employees.
