” How can Wall Street take this seriously???”

Wall street income has been disconnected from the domestic economy for years. They couldn’t care less about the American labor force.

Given that far fewer women were in the paid labor force 36 years ago than now, today’s number is even worse.

What the......!!!! I could have sworn that the lyin’ king said, just the other day, that there’s been 10 gazillion jobs added in the last 6 years and that every segment of the economy is better now that when he took office and everybody is better off than 6 years ago. I guess I need a s/ tag here?

Doesn’t this mean that the Food Stamp recipients are growing? and if so, isn’t that in and of itself good for the Economy?? The Demonrats said so a couple years ago.

Can someone explain what Labor Force participation rate measures?

I've heard it's dropping because the Baby Boomers are retiring. I've also heard it's actually higher in that group and it's younger workers with the lower LFPR

“Well golee!”, as Gomer Pyle used to say. This is the last count before Election Day, so we all knew the numbers would be twisted and mangled to show the unemployment rate below 6% so the Democrats could brag about this phony recovery.
