This sort of cr@p is why I never subscribed to/read IBD.

The inconvenient fact that 95+ million people are out of the labor force isn’t even acknowledged.

I never...   ...read IBD...   ...95+ million people are out of the labor force isn’t even acknowledged.

You know everything IBD has on every page and  never read IBD.   Sounds like the libs who tell me that they never ever listen to Rush because day after day every single word he says is a lie.

This is part of what the article did say about the labor force:

 "Over the past two months, the household survey shows the ranks of the employed have climbed by a total of 117,000, while the civilian labor force has shrunk by 421,000, meaning the ranks of the unemployed have fallen by 538,000. Still, participation was up by more than 2.1 million from a year ago."

Yeah we could say the writer was a coward for not mentioning the 95,055,000 not in the labor force, but then it would be fair to say that you and I are cowards for not saying that it's 95,089,000 without the seasonal adjustment.  Thing is, eventually we all have to just agree we can all read the BLS numbers for ourselves and do our own thinking.
