I didn’t see that anywhere in the article, but yes if they did that it would necessitate a discussion on the usefulness of CPI. In the meantime it is a very large function of the final CPI numbers www.bls.gov/cpi/factshee...

Nothing in this article proves those statistics were incorrect, it misunderstands how U-3 unemployment or CPI are reported. Everyone who knows what the definition of unemployment is knows that it doesn’t count people not looking for work; that’s the definition of unemployment. Terrible article
