Record 92,269,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Matches 36-Year Low

[Ransom]

36 year low is correct. And remember....all of this debt and the unfunded liabilities that now stand at over 100 trillion........are estimated given the economy grow and people are working. We're in a stagnant economy, unemployment especially amongst minorities is dismal at best, the average American working harder and longer hours today, his or her productivity skyrocketing....but even that has a ceiling.....

All good information to have for voters heading into the polling booths in less than 2 months.

I wonder how they factored in the over 44 million people who are over 65.

Those Lazy SOB's ... get back to Work

Hard to tell.

But still part of the problem. These "data" are more often manufactured to hide things or to obscure things.

There is very little transparency, stuff like this needs gathered, assessed and reported by independent entities somehow, you can't trust the inmates to run the prison.

All those Tax Breaks and all those Job Creators ... what's the problem?

Do some research and get back to us on it.

No thanks.

Look for work? Can't find it. Obama gave away all the jobs to illegals, well, those jobs he didn't kill first.

How many of those were the 47 % ?

LOL

Some research...

What's interesting is the labor participation rate has been going up for those 55 and older, down for younger.

That can't be good.

I didn't think so, it's easy to ask questions that raise doubts, hard to do the work to substantiate.

Oh snap, you got me!

Yeah, internet searches are really hard. Do you want a medal?
