@@jacksonbernard855 that was kind of what I thought, but more on a side gig level like a ride share level.

I want to like this but it's at 69 likes.

That one conflicted me. You exchanged money for a service. Granted it's not necessarily a service one would WANT but I'm sure if you went back he'd be happy to keep doing it.

you’re paying him!!! which means he’s self employed!!! we need a friggin re-audit

Welcome to bureaucracy

Meanwhile, the raccoons hoarded shines and selling them at grossly inflated prices are deemed employed. It seems like the main criteria for whether your shady business counts as employment is how rich you are.

@@gregoryhayes7569 that's pretty accurate to the real world actually.

It's because the guy on the roof is not filing with the IRS. He's doing it under the table.

That is correct

this made me cry too i never thought of it like that 😭

LOL same! i couldnt believe how that was possible.

I always wondered why he couldn't just swim over

no one would save him so he could contribute to the economy :(

And then after the flood, he says he just wants to go back to the island.

Thank you for your supplemental well-versed _Super Mario Sunshine_ employment lore!!! 👋👋👋

The man on the roof offering to throw you for a loop if you throw him a coin is clearly self-employed and using genius slogans and marketing tactics to grow his business model.

@@seanlaffey3633 he's the boss of all the chucking piantas in the pianta village secret

@@crunko8873 Ah yes, the chucksters. Does that make him the chuckmaster? Head honcho of the chucketeers? Either way, definitely employed

this is groundbreaking information that means the unemployment rate is even lower which is fantastic!!!

You made it into his shorts lol

in hindsight it makes me wonder if that one might work as tour guide, but there are simply no tourists

You'd like his resident evil 4 vid lol, just curious, do you need a degree for that? And what was that experience like?(a mail man personally, but just curious 🧐)

oh my god I second that, an employment report in Ul'dah would be a lot of work but i think it'd be HILARIOUS. maybe even try to flag down horny RPers in the quicksand to get them to try and answer coherently to employment-related inquires (but they might count as tourists?)

@@thejonbrownshow8470 oh believe me, I’ve seen it at this point. This series is hilarious. Being a census enumerator was usually pretty basic but covid and the politics at the time unfortunately made things a lot more interesting. You actually don’t need much just to work as an enumerator, they take most any adult that signs up for basic enumerating (though there are some management or specialists for difficult cases that probably have deeper requirements). You just need to apply at the right time because its a temporary position. Most of the job is pretty routine you get assigned a list of addresses that need to be checked and ask any residents if they have taken the census survey yet and then fill it out with them if they haven’t. In an uncooperative house you just try and get the number of people living there if you can. Assuring people who want privacy that you don’t even technically need their names is usually enough to get most people to cooperate for a few minutes. I worked in a college town at the time so I had the extra fun challenge of dealing with a bunch of properties that had residents that didn’t count for the survey or else that had people that would count but had moved on an so I’d need to interrogate roommates and neighbors as to how many people and very roughly who they were.

@@punchtigeredits its kind of hard to say. Working as an adventurer would 100% be a transient sort of job, but you can also get housing attached to Ul’dah and set up player businesses. Plus there’s retainers and the market board. That run out of it in part. So even if you don’t work in Ul’dah you might employ characters that do.

@@sternguard77 I'm currently a overworked delivery driver basically, but that sounds interesting 😂

Technically speaking, all KZfaq series are made by the unemployed

@@qwopiretyu so I did a little google and apparently the IRS only counts you as employed if you make $400 or more as a KZfaqr. You are considered self-employed and a sole proprietor of your channel unless you partner with KZfaq where you could also be considered an LLC

@@barross0505 huh and that's yearly?

@@qwopiretyu its as if putting hundreds of hours into a video project and making money from the finished product counts as a job... oh wait

@@BaalFridge it's as if I was making a joke

I always thought of him as more like a Chuckster who lacks the professionalism. Like, yeah he put in all the time and effort to learn how to be a Chuckster, but he never bothered to go through the proper channels to get the certification.

Totally agree, I got the same "carnie" feel from his dialogue

Ah, just 2 days of unpaid training and they're good to go

Self employed is still employed

exchanging money for (goods and) services is employment! self-employment, but employment nonetheless imo

Basically unemployed, homeless people who can't afford food

@@Liggliluffwell, they still pay you for it.

​@@username5155so they're basically like paying you for uber eats, if they have that disposable income rather than just getting fruit from around the island i'd argue it can be inferred they're employed or at least ineligible for the survey

big appreciate you saying this thank you. I hope you find your dream job.

Couldn’t of said it better myself 😂- So glad this came up in my recommended, the title alone gave me a laugh

@@sweetdangerzack ​ I do agree. Also, as someone who is not into scary or disturbing stuff, these simple and lighthearted videos are really refreshing. There are just so many videos that try to reveal " deep hidden meanings " within childhood games or shows that are usually based on scary / creepy theories.

reddit comment

how is the info useful

seems more just for fun

@@skeleton819 like in a in world usefulness, something like a test to see how a disaster on this level will effect the Delfino economy.

@@Nitosa ok

it seems most of the economy is vacationing/tourism and fruit stands, which means an event like no sunlight would be… pretty detrimental

The utter lack of clickbait and honestly just thoroughness is just so satisfying to watch

oops

Good point! They're still technically imports to Delfino Plaza itself, but it seems like they aren't necessarily international.

I think there also also other NPCs with mushrooms on their back there too. So that’s probably where they source the mushroom

Meaning this is a remote village man come to sell his crops in the city for the day. He doesn't have a more established stand like the fruit sellers that likely live above thier shops (and seem to source thier product through contractors instead of harvesting it themselves)

Prove it

@@any_austin He actually mentions it in an earlier state of Delfino Plaza, if you have less story/shine progression. (Back when the boats aren’t moving) It’s interesting how the dialogues or some characters change over time in response to events!

Don’t you mean intimate?

@@limpkola That too! I enjoy the immediacy of him writing things down - the pen click is a good audio indicator that he's marking things down as he goes. See it? Mark it. It keeps me engaged

"I've been shipwrecked for three years" • puts controller down, clicks pen • ✖️ UNEMPLOYED ✖️

@@Liggliluff *SAVAGE*

How do I get on that train

Sounds like a great job if youre into Pokemon Go

How do I get that job, walking around and counting things sounds like heaven.

honestly it was kind of luck for me. Saw a posting on a job board I’m a part of on facebook & got a referral. All I can say, if you can handle walking around all day, look out for data collection agencies & reach out to them to see if they’re hiring. it was a really low-key situation, like i don’t think i even submitted a resume. it felt like we always needed more people & we had some people on the team who were flakier than others. no experience required though, my employer had us using a mobile app so it was very entry level, & it did help me get a job after that since it’s somewhat tech oriented. :)

How in the hell has it taken me 21 years to find out this is an actual job. I'd kill to have that job!

You could argue that since she is hiring you for a task that implies that she has money to pay with, and by extension, she is therefore employed.

@@alexskocy9948 that or living off a trust fund. If we accept the 3rd world tourist labor economy premise, it's employment.

@@twistedtachyon5877 I imagine if employed it's something like she pays you to get fruits then sells fruits to the stands

@@alexskocy9948 I thought she was employed by selling the fruits until she said "I'm craving some...coconuts!" which makes me think she just wants to eat them - therefore, she's not making money from them. Could go either way for me.

The fact that there’s so many people saying the exact same thing makes me think she (and the other Fruit Ladies) is in some kind of Multi Level Marketing scheme, pulling in other people to help her with her business. I think that counts as employment? She’s her own boss?

I heartily concur.

I was gonna say this! Also I'm not sure the boat dancing guy is unemployed tbh.

True but y’all are taking it a lil too seriously lmao. It’s never gonna be 100% accurate especially considering the village changes over the course of the game.

I don’t think you understand the point of arguing about this if your goal is still full accuracy. It’s just a funny conversation to have. It’s entertaining. Amusement. Do we want to be close? Sure. Do we know it doesn’t matter? Yes. So why bring up these more obscure characters? To have more to giggle about. It’s all very silly.

Yeah and what about that damn Tanooki scalping his island's own power source?!?!

ooh, good point! and what about the delfino airstrip? it's part of the plaza for 100-coin-shine purposes....

More accurate absolutely but entirely necessary probably not. You can just tell how tedious some of these unemployment videos are for him wouldn’t ever wanna make it worse

Our enumerator simply hasnt the time to save the island AND survey the island

@@any_austin i do think a reevaluation is required after someone does something about the island to see how the economy has improved

I believe that the dancing boat pianta next to the noki bay light pillar owns and runs the boat as a business.

Well, if you're counting the judge, might as well count the prosecutor, as well!

He also forgot the Piantas at the landing strip for the airplane. Which is I believe, still technically part of Delfino Plaza.

@@bugjams and the smoothie shop owners on the beach/the hotel owner at the other beach

Maybe Mario didn’t get his data collection job until after he was arrested

+1 For whoever is running the Delfino Emergency Broadcast Station.

I think the fact that he's on a rooftop, and that he throws you through a closed window, indicates that his services are geared for burglars. So he's more like a getaway driver or criminal transport. So he could be employed and is just running this illegal side hustle to make extra cash off of other criminals.

@@Nebyulosity Hm you make a good point. I suppose if this is a side hustle we are back to not knowing if he's employed.

I absolutely agree

A month later - the unexpected fits of laughter still haven't ceased. I've now come to believe that I'm under the Wet Cum Curse, also known in Japan as "Nureta Seishi no Noroi" (濡れた精子の呪い). Haaaahahaaaa....! Pray for me.
