I don’t think college students would be counted in this metric because it only counts people who want a full time job. A full time college student likely does not.

You've never known college students to work full time jobs and take night school?
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen I’m just saying it’s not a large enough demographic to explain why the bottom 25% should go down.
You didn't say that. I said it was only one category. There are perhaps others.

Again, you need to look the number of people in poverty. Is it growing or shrinking? That's the true metric of an economy.

When you get to 50% or more in poverty, that's revolution territory.
