RE: the leftist fake stream media never heard of the U6 labor numbers during the eight years of obama’s economic destruction, but suddenly they discover it for Trump ... anything to not have to publish good news about Trump ...

I would not include Investor Business Daily as among those in the leftist media.
They have been supporters of Trump’s economic agenda and their IBD/TIPP poll was probably the most accurate 2016 Presidential poll of all ( when a lot were predicting a Hillary victory ).
Investors Business Daily is one of the more CONSISTENT news sources when it comes to labor participation rates. They have been harping about the Labor Force Participation Rate since as far as I can remember ( even before Obama was elected President ).
Did anybody actually ASK people who were unemployed for a long time if they “gave up”......or did the government just claim they did because it would be too embarrassing to count them?
I think we all know the answer. Trump is doing a great job reviving the economy but we haven’t fully recovered from the Great Recession yet. There was utterly no recovery under Obama.
“I would not include Investor Business Daily as among those in the leftist media.”
I’ve found IBD is pretty much a RINO/GOPe/Bushite outfit, and in this particular article they’re parroting the latest get-trump attack the Dems sent out to the leftist fake stream media, an attack that’s already been posted here several times in the last few days in other leftist fake stream media outfits.
