You can quibble with the exact threshold, but it certainly isn’t 80% of pre-Covid employment:

Certainly not 80%, but by all metrics, both mine and yours, it is still below what it was before.

Actually, 158 is greater than 157.

158 is a projection into the future, not a current number.

It is also not adjusted for population growth, the way labor participation is.

Those charts don't seem to be lower now than before.
