Labor Participation Rate Drops To 36 Year Low; Record 92.6 Million Americans Not In Labor Force

[chikenwing]

Been dropping for 15 years

Never seemed to matter when it dropped during 8 years of Bush. But since unemployment dropped below 6% today, Republicans need a new economic factor to harp on

BOOOOOOSH broken freaking record.

Bush sucked does that help??!! reality is today,I know that won't help.

It's isn't bigotry to oppose Illegal Immigration.

That's true.

But it is bigotry to blame immigrants for things they did not cause. We have had several tards start topics blaming illegal immigrant children for the virus that is going around right now, without a shred of supportive evidence for that assertion.

That's bigotry. Pure bigotry.

Just so with blaming immigrants for a low labor force participation rate without a shred of supportive evidence for that assertion.

Bigots suffer from a desire to believe something even when there is an absence of evidence to support that belief. "Truth" for a bigot is whatever agrees with what they wish to believe.

It is the same phenomenon we see with the clients of psychics and mediums. Confirmation bias.

I am opposed to illegal immigration. However, I believe the chief cause of illegal immigration is that we are not meeting the immigrant labor demand with a proper immigrant labor supply. And so the market is forced to acquire that labor supply illegally. Since you claim to be a libertarian, you surely must understand this principle at work.

Every prosperous society has a large immigrant labor force. Simple fact. The bigots refuse to believe there are some jobs that Americans just won't do. But there are. Thus there is an immigrant labor demand on that level that is not being met by our seriously broken quota system.

Time to end Illegal Immigration. Time to do it the right way. Ignoring our Immigration Laws has been the biggest crime our Government has ever perpetrated on the American People. They should all be held accountable.

Key words: The right way.

There is a right way and a wrong way to fix what is broken.

A gigantic reverse Berlin Wall might make a tard feel good, but it is mostly waste.

Under Obama: One Million More Americans Have Dropped Out Of Work Force than Have Found a Job

President Obama declared last week during a speech at Northwestern University that he has turned the economy around and that while he might not be on the ballot in November midterm elections, his “agenda will be.” Democrats across the country cringed when they heard that one. Right now Michelle is a lot more popular than he is on the campaign trail – much like Laura Bush was more in demand than George W. in his final years as president.
