Methinks you are still wrong. Look at you original comment:
“All anyone has to do is count that actual number of people employed.
I’ll save you the time. It’s almost 100 million less than 2009.”
You specifically say that there are “100 million LESS than 2009” (emphasis added).
Incorrect. There are *currently* 100 million. There were actually people not in the labor force in 2009, too.
So I made no assumption. Your original phrasing was wrong and should not be repeated. There are not currently 100 million LESS than 2009. That’s patently ludicrous.
Mealsothinks “methinks” isn’t so bad. ;-)
Again you do not understand.
BTW, I hope you don’t say “methinks” to adults. It’s does not make you sound cute. It’s trendy degenerate slang primarily used by those in Academia , who think they know the answer to everything, that think it’s witty. Just trust me when I say this...... Adults that have real jobs (not living in fantasy land) with think you are childish idiot behind your back.
Anyhow, the labor participation rate dropped to a 38 year Low. It’s a record 92.9 million Americans not in the labor force. That is the lowest print since December 1977!
What this means is that Americans 16 and older.... did not participate in the labor force. This is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Here is an article from last September to help you better understand what I’m talking about. The BLS is totally cooking the books on the unemployment numbers. For instance, they do not count people after 2 years with the U-4 report. Please see the article below.
