Notice in the chart it was even lower pre-1979. That’s because there were a lot more single income families back then.

Back then, you didn’t have to work three jobs to support your government leech.

Indeed. It’s important to note that they were single income families because they didn’t need to be two income families. Now in many cases single-income families used to be two income families and they’re in trouble. Any participation number today in fact signifies far more economic distress than a comparable number back then.

Right. The increase in participation rate was driven primarily by women in the workforce. Male participation rate has been steadily declining since the 1950's.
