PARTICIPATION RATE AGAIN MATCHES 38 YEAR LOW.
BigGovernment: The number of Americans not participating in the work force exceeded 94 million for the third time in a row last month, according to new government data released Friday.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 94,513,000 people (ages 16 and over) were neither employed nor had made specific efforts to find work in the prior four weeks during the month of October.
The number of Americans outside the labor force in October — due to retirement, schooling, discouragement or otherwise — declined slightly compared to September’s figures when a record 94,610,000 Americans were not participating. MORE
Can’t be – the unemployment rate is 5%
Whud I tell ya? More people out of the work force and the official unemployment rate goes down! Welcome to the new Communism of unnecessary, over-reaching, over-bearing, out-of-control, dictatorial “regulation” where the ginned-up, insane pretzel-logic of the Øbamboozler ‘s mythical, Marxist Utopia will tell us everything we need to know (no matter how big a lie it is) firmly rooted in the belief is that none of us on our own is as dumb as all of us combined! Think it’s bad now? Just wait until next year when he pulls out all the stops! All I can say is you Republicans had better wake up and do your job pretty damn quick and impeach this Manchurian Doorknob (and clean house) before it’s too late!
94/322=.29
Almost 1/3 of the population is not working!!!!!!!!!!!
I am paying for them!!!!!!!
This is insane!!!!!!
Only an unabashed capitalist can save the USA.
TRUMP!
1st we have to have an awoken mass of people
that can awaken character (stand by: CLEEEEARRR!) in many of these people, to become less of a drain. It means somehow some way, they work.
Or, eventually eradication is inevitable. I’m for the 1st one.

So the last time unemployment was this bad was when another brain dead, knuckle-dragging, socialist, by the name of Jimmy Carter, was president. And it took someone who understood that gov’t IS the problem to get us out of this socialist shithole.
I’m not saying that Trump=Reagan but if Trump lives up to his words, comparisons will be made and they will be correct.
Trump IS the closest thing we’ve got to Reagan in this time period. Carson’s a nice guy, but we need someone with fucking balls that won’t quit or get run over.
Corona, Id agree with you on this front: America needs a serious recharge due to the gradual lack of morality, businesses moving overseas, and general apathy.
Carson would do so, subtely.
Trump however, would rattle our balls.
What we want fellow Americans, is a rememberance and a re-install of individualism.
If we don’t get that strong leader, it will remind us that we also must become strong ourselves, to be used in these days ahead. SOC will fail.
