Why does it feel like unemployment has increased in recent years?

A friend with reliable data sources recently told me that new employment groups like ride-hail drivers and food delivery workers are now officially registered in China, totaling nearly 100 million people.

If we include unreported cases, the estimate is close to 200 million. Keep in mind, our total population is only 1.4 billion, and if we exclude the elderly and children, it's even fewer.

Is this really true? The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes...
