I'm with you. Funny how we started accepting the cooked U-3 unemployment numbers instead of the more accurate U-6 numbers.

I understand a ton of jobs have been created since President Trump took office, but I refuse to believe that the Labor Participation Rate has increased dramatically.

In Feb 2018 Labor participation rate was .01 off matching the all time high of 63

But I agree, Trump should come out and say “We ending the farace of using cooked books on Unemployment to hide the problem of Underemployement. The figure my administation will be using is the U6 numbers. This number show we as a country still have much to do to make sure every US citizen has every chance to achieve greatness in the job of their choice. “
