Im sure in his feeble mind this makes sense.
(NewsOK) White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained that the number of people dropping out of the work force, which artificially depresses the unemployment rate, can be regarded as an economic positive.
A lot of that is due to younger people getting more of an education, which is an economic positive, Carney said. He had been asked what would happen when people inevitably raise the unemployment rating with their return to the work force.
He also noted that an aging population going into retirement has contributed to the number of people dropping out of the work force.
Carney suggested that the focus on the number of people dropping out of the work force is politically motivated.
