Number keeps getting smaller doesn't it?

And here, according to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, as of July there were over 9 million unfilled jobs in the private sector.

300,000 in construction
900,000 in manufacturing
1,400,000 in retail/wholesale
500,000 in transportation/warehousing/utilities
1,800,000 in leisure and hospitality
400,000 in other services

Somehow, according to Pete, the 150,000 people under 65 who died of covid, were filling all of those jobs.

In that case, maybe they worked themselves to death, maybe they didn't actually die of covid.
