Part time jobs soared by 437K, full time jobs fell by 252K. As a result, wage growth fell from 0.2% Mar to 0.1% Apr. Labor participation rate @ 69.45%, lowest since 1977. March numbers revised downward (surprise, surprise).

Re: 5.4%
So according to the BLS:
157.072 million in labor force (62.8%)
93.194 million not in labor force (31.8%)
8.549 million unemployed (5.4%)
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.a.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
That drop to (a bogus) 5.4% is due to MILLIONS that have dropped out of the labor force. Now if we could just get the final 8.549 million to drop out of the labot force, we could have 0.0% unemployment!

Why does everybody make such a big deal about the labor participation rate? Wasn't that what the Industrial Revolution was about? Automated labor+exploding population=lots of people with nothing to do.
