> This is very misleading reporting. ... Slightly less than one-fifth were employed before but unemployed during the pilot (17%)

From the article:

> The report shows nearly three-quarters of respondents who were working when the pilot project began kept at it despite receiving basic income.

While they didn't say "83% of people kept working" saying "nearly three quarters" is much easier to read. The article under-reports the number of people who kept working, if anything.

Edit: formatting.
