Communist countries and slaveholding societies have low unemployment too. :lol: Let's see if wages rise and the middle class grows healthy again. Thanks to the tax cuts our government is in even greater debt.

You repeatedly discounted employment numbers as bogus when Obama was president. Now all of a sudden they are legitimate?


What's the labor participation rate now?

I know. Let's keep the high unemployment and get rid of the sexism and white supremacism. Unless the R's are saying they're linked. :biggrin:

It is now at 62.7%, the same that it was back in December of 2016. Link

About the same. Continued growth is offset by Boomers retiring.

It's true I always thought the labor participation rate was a better measure than unemployment. Unemployment doesn't take into account the number of people getting on disability which seems to happen more when good paying jobs are not available.

This was your obsession during the Obama years. Now that white boy is in office, suddenly you stopped paying attention.

You know Kevin you're a real prick. I was having an open minded conversation about this until you showed up. For the record I still think the labor participation rate is a better gauge of the economy than the unemployment rate. I'm not sure that the unemployment rate being low has anything to do with Trump.
