What’s the chocolate ration?
The Labor Department is The Ministry of Disinformation.
Is anyone believing this bullcrap anymore?
So, what the libs say in response to the evidence of lowest job participation rate is that there are much higher numbers of elderly,
and are you heartless enough to insist they go back to work in order to increase the participation rate?
It’s BS of course. Parallel evidence would be in the enrollment numbers in “disability”. People aren’t suddenly becoming disabled - they just can’t find jobs in the Obamaconomy.
I would like to know where is the GOP's counter claim? Just having us Freepers say bull is not enough. We all know these numbers are based on those still looking and not dropped out all together. I want to know real unemployment rates. The GOP, which has access to the raw data can do that and make its anti-Obama economy case accordingly. It is very frustrating.
Did I mention that I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn?
Next up: 2 part-time jobs count twice.
This regime may well achieve a negative unemployment rate while presiding over a depression.
Or work off the books (drug sales, prostitution, day work, etc). Or former two income families are now one income families.
Government liars are cooking the books.
Note the Labor Force Participation rate = Adults with jobs.
Isn't the leftist narrative constantly that society is becoming more "liberal" because young people are displacing the older, conservative people? Now, they want to conveniently contradict that narrative, hoping we don't notice, by saying that there are more and MORE elderly non-workers? As if elderly people product their own kind. They can't logically have it both ways.
The enduring fact over the past 6 or 7 years is that college graduate unemployment is THROUGH THE ROOF. They just aren't looking.

Oh yea, this is what full employment looks like.
Is the Fed still going negative?
Right you are in post #27.
Labor force participation was 65.7% when Barry took over, with 7.8% unemployment.
Now its 62.4% with 5% unemployment.
Emptying one side of the bath tub.
Once everybody stops looking for work, we’ll be at 100% employment/0% unemployment.
Go Obama! FUBO!
The unemployment rate keeps dropping, along with the labor participation rate. The ultimate resolution of this, in Obama’s Brave New World, will be a situation where nobody is working yet nobody is unemployed!
Christmas hires. Or rather “holiday”.
They never say how many jobs were lost. How many did this latest job report fill positions that were vacated?
A lot of people work under the table.
Every single week we hear about contractions in business:
- Target closing 13 stores
- Deutsche Bank, 35,000 layoffs
- Kraft Heinz, closing 7 factories and laying off 2,600
- JC Penney, laying off 300 in Plano corporate
- Weatherford Internation, laying off 11,000 in third quarter
- etc. etc. etc....
I guess all of these displaced workers are independently wealthy?
