Could you translate? What's the gist of this point?

The numbers represent "Not in Labor Force, Searched For Work and Available, Discouraged Reasons For Not Currently Looking"
Surprisingly, the numbers are much worse for Clinton than for W.
Tom Daschle is deeply saddened...

I am not really sure, but I thought it was cool that so many thought they couldn't find a job during Clinton's reign, and those numbers have not been matched during #43's term. I hear the liberal press bemoaning how people just don't feel there are jobs available, but they never, ever point out these stats!
The way they carry on I never would have thunk it.

I don't get these numbers, but I can see why there might be some animosity in the black community.
