But the largest reduction in the workforce has been among the millennials. Today the labor force participation rate for the 16 to 24 age group is 55.1 percent, down from 60.8 percent a decade ago and more than 66 percent back in the late 1990s. Hey, why not? Why should anyone have to work to support themselves? Why shouldn't young people be able to "find themselves" while the government supports them? The rich can afford to pay more taxes to support everyone. In fact, the greedy bastards aren't paying their fair share now!!

Is it true that the new people entering the demographic are not seeking unemployment so they don’t get counted in the U3 or U6 unemployment?
To: Kaslin
and Libs will tell you the Labor Participation Rate includes 98 year olds. Where do they come up with this carp?

Wages were flat last month -- so higher pay isn't going to induce a stream of workers into jobs. That statement makes no sense.

Those are not “policy mistakes”. It is all part of a very deliberate plan.

Who would want to hire millenials, when you have a quarter of the mexican population jumping the border to take those jobs, and pretty much a no upper limit H1-B visa program. This is what US employers want, third world cheap labor, and use every dirty trick and lame excuse in the book to get it.
Wait until TPP and all of its goodies goes into effect. Americans will be essentially shut out of their own labor market, just like europe.
We have nobody to blame but ourselves for this predicament, which is being caused by selling out our country and sovereignty for short term financial gain.

Stephen Moore is an amnesty pimp.
If we deported the illegal aliens, wages would rise and people would find jobs.
