I just heard an ash hole on WABC radio say that "Analysts say the drop in unemployment was caused by people giving up looking for work".


These people are living in a bizarro world where everything is upside down. Since none of these "experts and analysts" is every anything but 'surprised about economic news, when do we stop calling them experts?

I just heard an ash hole on WABC radio say that "Analysts say the drop in unemployment was caused by people giving up looking for work".

Isn't this just always the convenient explanation of low unemployment numbers when a Republican is president according to the Dems. and their MSM lapdogs? I guess during the Clinton years none of the unemployment numbers reflected people who gave up looking.

The fact is, if you can afford to give up looking for a job, then you didn't need one to begin with. So what are all these people who supposedly gave up looking for work doing now? Living on the streets? That's such a phony argument and they have nothing other than partisan-driven supposition to base it on.

If anyone truly is giving up on looking for work, they're not looking very hard. Jobs are plentiful out there in most parts of the country. So most people giving up looking for jobs, even if you assume that occurs other than infrequently, are doing so willfully and out of a lack of desire to work.
