If you want to get accurate employment numbers, the payroll companies can give you that, ADP in particular has a historical report from month to month.
Note the non-farm payroll numbers from 2020M03 (16868963) to 2020M11 (7590529).
There were 16.9 million people employed (under ADP payroll) in this country back in march, vs only 7.59 million people today which is about a 55% drop.
tldr: shits fucked
We were already in insurmountable debt territory before the CCP virus.
