OftenBen:

I don't think the word 'job' means anything. It doesn't tell you if the person is able to provide for the basic needs of their family. Being employed full time, more than full time is not a predictor of being able to provide for basic needs, let alone healthy consumer behavior.

We have tons of people 'employed' by Uber, Lyft, etc, but that's not sustainable. It doesn't enable people to save for retirement.
