Well....in your case....the employment picture is bleak. Hampered by your unwillingness to get off your fat ass

Oh? What of the 92 million others who have dropped out of the workforce? .

There are not 92 million who have dropped out of the workforce. There are 93.6 million not in the labor force, but that doesn't mean they "dropped out." Every month an average of 325,000 join the population as "not in the labor force." Over half that 93.6 million is age 65 and older or disabled, or both.

87.56 million say they dont' want a job. Of those who say they do, it's mostly theoretical as over half have not done one single thing to look for work in the last year.

Who wants to celebrate?

You're right. Very good news. I will not take the path of some right wingers and deny this great news. There are more and more opportunities in America....and Obama should get some credit.



Now....whats the excuse of those people like the ones in Baltimore and Ferguson who somehow cant get themselves one...just ONE....of these jobs???

Could you explain the disconnect between this "great" news and the FACT that the job participation rate continues to drop?

Job participation rate? Do you mean Labor Force Participation rate (percent of population employed or unemployed) or Employment to Population ratio (percent of population employed)?

And why do you think a decline is bad?
