Jobs report: Labor Participation Rate remains at lowest level since Jimmy Carter presidency

[edthecynic]

The Labor Force Participation Rate was 65.7% when Obama took office. It is now 62.8%

But when adjusted for demographics it is 65.1%

92.4 MILLION are out of work... You have completely lost all relevance!

Funny how the Right never thought it relevant when Bush left office with 92 million out of work!!!!!

LOL. I like how that graph just ignores the unsustainable amount of people about to enter social security and medicare. They don't exist!

Edthecynic forgot the most important rule, "Marijuana, not even ONCE"

People are arguing over semantics of how to phrase this mass of people not working seems silly to me. Whether they want work or not is irrelevant in my view. Clearly, over 100,000,000 people not working isn't economically sustainable regardless of whether they want a job or not.

So, to solve that, no one is allowed to retire, no spouses are allowed to stay at home, all students over 16 are required to drop out of school and get a job, and all disabled are required to work no matter how physically or mentally crippled they are.
See, problem solved with 100% LPR.

You seem to be getting dumber by the comment. I know you were trying for snarky with your forced labor comment, but but you missed the mark and landed on stupid by glibly ignoring the impending entitlement obligations cliff.

The Labor Participation rate has been going down for 15 years....why is anyone surprised?

But it has been CRASHING only since 2009.

That's what happens when Baby Boomers retire.
