-- U.S. unemployment rate in April including those who have given up looking for work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The U.S. economy added a sickly 115,000 jobs in April, but as discouraged workers continued to leave the labor force, the benchmark unemployment rate nudged down from 8.2 percent to 8.1 percent.
The more important number, the size of the potential labor force that is not employed, remained at a crushing 14.5 percent. Economists are alarmed not only at the puny jobs number in April but at the fact that the difference between the two figures, 6.4 percent, stands near an all-time high.
In April, about 522,000 Americans left the labor force, making the addition of 115,000 jobs look all the more alarming. In 2011, about 2.7 million Americans left the work force while only 945,000 came in.
There is good news here though: The utter uselessness of the old baseline unemployment rate may have finally been fully exposed. The baseline is a useful indicator in times of growth or recession, but not during periods of stagnation.
Just heard this stat, no link:
88 million of our 211 million adults in America are now OUT of the reported workforce.

If the tax cuts were SO necessary, why is our unemployment rate still above 8%? [/B]

Actually, if they used the workforce utilization number used when the Obama regime came to power, our unemployment rate would be 11% right now.
