I read the labor participation rate rose to 63%.
The U.S. Labor Market Cools, and It's Not Just the Weather - Businessweek
The BLS seasonal data have been highly distorted to make this report look good.
It shows an increase in Employed of 638K, yet the government released other data that only 113K jobs were added in January.
They can't both be correct.

Good job Obama.
By 2016, hardly anyone will be working but official unemployment will be 5%.
Job growth remains weak in January; unemployment rate falls to 6.6% - latimes.com
Hardly anyone?
The US, now, enjoys one of the lowest UE rates in the world.
And the MAJORITY of Americans are working.
I saw the exact same thing happen during Clinton's time too.
You folks shot down ALL good news.
The LPR is a completely worthless economic indicator as it is affected by demographics like Boomers retiring. The Right know this, but have nothing else negative to attack the economy with. They never said that the Bush economy or UE numbers were bad because the LPR was declining during his Regime. No, they said the LPR's projected decline for the next 20 years was justification for privatizing SS. If Bishop Willard had been elected, the declining LPR would suddenly stop being a negative economic indicator and just as suddenly become a positive indicator for the need to privatize SS.So what is the labor participation rate? The more who drop out of the workforce the lower the unemployment rate falls if it's falling because so many have stopped looking for jobs that is hardly good news or a sign of a growing economy.

No one is allowed to retire when a Dem is president, but the out of workforce number increasing every year of the Bush Regime was nothing but great economic news.Good job Obama.

And how many people are out of the workforce? This is hardly good news for them, given that lots of people HAVE LEFT THE WORKFORCE!
Yeah, they are called CON$ervatives!Shitbag....there are 18-60 year olds sitting on their asses collecting welfare benefits.
The CBO stated yesterday at Congressional Hearings that obamacare creates a class of people that will not work to keep medical benefits.
Shut the fuck up, inbred.
