And yet we continue to create jobs. From the US Department of labor:

Total employment rose by 496,000 in January after accounting for the adjustment to population controls. (See table A and the note on page 6.) The employment-population ratio--the proportion of the population age 16 and older with jobs--increased to 62.4 percent over the month. (See table A-1.)

That's half million in one month.

All this while the EU wants to create a new *Bureaucrat in Charge of Jobs* so that eventually they might have 67% of their workers engaged in productive work. The EU unemployment rate is double ours, officially.

There's a natural attrition in the workforce. People die, retire, leave to have a baby or start a business, whatever. Most of them will be replaced with another employee.
