Labor participation rate remains at a 40-year low.

You bet this is BS.

5 X 3 = 15%, not 5%

Not in my universe or any of my buddies that have been laid off. They’re just liars like they always are removing the number of people working from the count. 95M people out of work (or more), a population of 310M and they get 5.0 %?. Pathological liars using Common Core math. That’s the ticket.

Time to call Obama's bluff.

5.0% unemployment is pretty close to "full employment." With full employment comes inflation (caused in part by worker shortage). The only way to combat inflation is to raise interest rates.

Time for Yellen to raise interest rates - just in time for the 2016 election!

So then we have no need for immigration, Latin, Syrian or otherwise, correct?

More lies from our trusted government. I don’t believe anything that comes from inside the beltway.

I think we have been lied to for so long it makes no difference ant more, just more of the same.

On a sliding scale, there are lies, damned lies, statistics, and, in last place, tales from the New York Times.

5.0 interest rate, not 5.1. Sorry, an even bigger lie.

Apparently, Amazon, UPS and other companies have been hiring large numbers of temp workers for the upcoming Veterans Day sales, Black Friday and Christmas sales.

Few if any of those temps will be employed after New Years, 2016.

Explanations: Fewer people want to work than ever before, and more people have found a way to survive without working than ever before.
