When 93,000,000+ are not in the workforce, you are very correct. :ohno:

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).

Actually its worse than that.

"AMERICANS NOT IN LABOR FORCE HITS NEW RECORD HIGH: 93,194,000

...The labor force participation rate came in at 62.8 percent."

Meanwhile, the Real unemployment rate, the U6, stands at 10.8%....

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!

"MOST NET JOB GAINS WENT TO IMMIGRANTS SINCE RECESSION

.....In December 2007 the number of foreign-born workers was 22,810,000. By April 2015, the number had increased to 24,819,000 or a net job growth of more than 2 million.

For native-born workers that number in December 2007 was 123,524,000 by April of this year the number of employed native-born Americans was 123,769,000 or a net job growth of 245,000.....

...As Breitbart News has reported, in previous months net job growth since the recession had gone entirely to immigrants, with native-born Americans experiencing a net job loss."

I'm not going to read Breitbart. That site makes Fox News look neutral. But, what is the cause? Lower wages that Americans won't accept?

Wrong again, Illiterato.

I read Huffpo daily, along with about 20+ other news services. And although rare, I have cited Huffpo.

Once again, please dispute the actual data cited by BDKJMU, as posted by Breitbart.

You won't.

Because you can't.

:roll:

Next.

Ive found that reading huffpo, slate, and the atlantic is quite enlightening

rolling stone is a good source for lefty groupthink, too

then i read natty review and other similar magazines

George Carlin once said that he believed that the truth was somewhere between New Hampshire's "live free or DIE" and Idaho's "great potatoes"

I believe the same can be said of the clickbait online media, although I find that when they are talking about something I have real life experience with, natty review and the WSJ tend to be a little closer to it

Great if you're hiring. :coffee:

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. :coffee: Some of you jokers will whine about anything. Why not be proactive and kneecap a banker?

So, I never disputed the data but Breitbart didn't offer any evidence to explain it.
