The LFPR is not "plunging"... What would it look like if

a) private sector payrolls under Scrub had performed as they have under Obama

b) public sector payrolls had grown under Obama at the rate they did under Scrub?

According to your graph, a plunging LFPR is a component of the Indisputable Evidence of the Success of Scrubby's Tax Cuts..... And as you look at the end of that line, describe what you see.

But WHY has it been going down? Below is a graph of those not in the labor force as a percent of the population and those not in the labor force who do not want a job as a percent of the population.

In other words, the drop in the LFPR is due to people who DO NOT WANT TO WORK.

How do you consider that "spin"? True or false, the main reason for the decrease in the Labor Force Participation rate is an increase in the number of people who say they do not want a job now?

EDIT: Since January 2009, the Labor Force Pardicipation Rate has gone down by 3 percentage points.
At the same time, the percent of the population who is not working and does not want a job went up 3.1 percentage points. ALL of the drop in the LFPR is due to those not wanting/needing a job.

If only we could return to the good old days when president Gomer was losing 745,000 jobs a month. Is it the Wild Turkey or the Meth that`s causing the memory failure of republicans? It would be cruel to just call them stupid.

Steph,

I'm confident that you are at least as innumerate as you are illiterate...... But if you think you can surprise me, go ahead and make your case with numbers and citations.....
