Also, one might note that the participation rate is at 65.6% on a non-adjusted basis. That's a weak number, and year-on-year it's down from February 2004 where it was at 65.9%, which itself was pretty weak.

As more of our good paying jobs are outsourced overseas, an increasing number of Americans must work multiple low-paying jobs in the service sector in order to maintain their standard of living.
