All the headline numbers have showed that the labor market is incredibly strong.
But is it really?
Currently, the US has a record ~8.6 MILLION people that are holding 2 or more jobs.
Since 2020, nearly 2.6 million people have taken on an additional job.

On top of this, 10 of the last 11 months have seen downward revisions in their jobs number.
