Per your link - labor force participation rate is way down "alarming economists". And most of those are making less money than they were 10 years ago when adjusted for inflation. Hardly the great economy Democrats spin.Wrong again. Try reading the link.92 million.ummm the "jobs created" number is the NET change. For example, in May, 4,952,000 left their jobs (2,895,000 quit, 1,667,000 were laid off or fired, and 390,000 retired, died or other). For the same month, 5,036,000 people were hired. Net change 84,000 "new jobs." (no it doesn't match up with official jobs numbers due to different time periods used.there has been 0 job growth since 2009. big deal we create 100,000 a month, what about the 280,000 files for unemployment?
Ok, if unemployment was 35%, that would mean around 81 MILLION unemployed. Is that your claim? That there are 81 million people who are looking for work and failing?when unemployment was and still is about 35% during these last 7 years, the Dems kept reporting that it was 10% and now its 4.9%,,,,yah, right!
More and more Americans are outside the labor force entirely. Who are they?
Typical RWNJ misrepresentation. (like most all of the BS List) That is not the number of job seekers, that list includes all retirees and children.
Specifically:
• People age 16 to 17, who likely are in high school: 9 million
• People who are enrolled in either two- or four-year colleges: 21 million
• People age 65 and older, who have reached retirement age: 40 million people
That means 20 million people are of normal working age, not in college and not working. That’s less than one-quarter the amount repeatedly cited in the blogosphere.
