I feel like comments like "nobody wants to work anymore", and employment numbers in general, need to come with a little star next to them that points to a footnote reminding you that the labor market is being perpetually undercut by prison labor.
@mhoye and also with a litany of references of the historical usage of that phrase, because "nobody wants to work anymore" has been in newspapers and many other places for a good couple centuries at least.
It's the fundamental litany of capitalism, trying to guilt people into accepting less than their labour's worth.
