DOES THIS BLS DATA LOOK LIKE A HOT LABOR MARKET?

The BLS puts out enough data for everyone.  BI uses the 'uneomployment' to show a tight labor market (...there are now 1.5 unemployed workers per job opening, down from 6 in 2009..) and their graph shows hard numbers that are absolutely true and also absolutely misleading.  Problem stems from using the unemployment level which is just the number of employed subtracted from our shrinking workforce.  We need to use the "not-employed" which is the population minus the employed:

Big drop in the unemployed with no drop in the not-employed.
