[Son House]

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Labor Force Participation Rates remain near 30-year lows.

We’ve had 40 months of unemployment above 8%.

The above chart shows the “labor force participation rate.” This statistic represents the share of working-age Americans who are either employed or unemployed but looking for work. It is not a pretty picture. Only 63.7% of working-age Americans are currently in the workforce – the lowest in almost 29 years!

To put it another way, 36.3% of working-age Americans do not have a job and are not even looking.
