Why is that year significant?
And ypu do realize the labor force participation rate has been going down for 14 years now?
78 well because it's the lowest it's been in 36 years going from your link the years on that go from 2004-January of this year and from 2004 through most of 2008 the numbers are fairly consistent some variations of course but not a huge drop.Then you get to the end of 2008 and the big meltdown from November of that year the drop really started to change and has not gotten really any better in the following years.
Of course you realize that the current 63% is higher than anytime before 1978, so unless you want to claim that we're better off now than anythime before 1978 you'll realize it's not a telling indicator.
Not a huge drop from 2000-2007, but a steady drop and a slight uptick, but generally down.

How well do remember the 70s? It would take very little to make now better than then both the economy back then and the current one are two of the worst in my lifetime. No matter how we see the 2000-2007 numbers the drop has grown greatly under Obama and some of that does come from the meltdown when he first took office but not the majority of it.
Good job Obama.
By 2016, hardly anyone will be working but official unemployment will be 5%.
Job growth remains weak in January; unemployment rate falls to 6.6% - latimes.com
You confirm that the 80,000 number is accurate and in the process you see that there are less than 1 million who have become discouraged and dropped out of the workforce and yet you claim your "TENS OF MILLIONS" bullshit is STILL valid.Have a link for that claim? Even if that is accurate it still keeps the rate at or very near it's lowest number since 1978 I believe you can spin that unemployment number like a top if it makes you feel better the tens of millions who have dropped out of the workforce know the true reality of this economy all to well.
Pinqy gave a link. You can find it here: http://www.bls.gov/webapps/legacy/cpsatab16.htm
Thanks for the link the 80,000 was correct but I think my overall point about the economy is still valid.
Nah, delusional is believing that Republicans took control of the Congress in 1994.Good job Obama.

Hardly anyone?
The US, now, enjoys one of the lowest UE rates in the world.
And the MAJORITY of Americans are working.
I saw the exact same thing happen during Clinton's time too.
You folks shot down ALL good news.
I don't really like to call you a moron, but you keep acting like one. 1994 ring a bell? That's when the Republicans took control of the House and the Senate, forced welfare reform and a balanced budget down Clinton's throat!
The percent of people working is smaller than it has been since 1978.
You're effing delusional!
Holyfuckingshit!Good job Obama.

You only like the news that confirms your prejudices and hatred of the Black President.
i knew it....., you can not get thu a thread without pulling the race card.
i despise the son-of-a-bitch for his hate for our Constitution and Bill of Rights and total disregard of his oath.
January 21st, the Wall Street adviser: Actual unemployment is 37.2%, 'misery index' worst in 40 years | WashingtonExaminer.com
poste this:
Don't believe the happy talk coming out of the White House, Federal Reserve and Treasury Department when it comes to the real unemployment rate and the true Misery Index. Because, according to an influential Wall Street advisor, the figures are a fraud.
In a memo to clients provided to Secrets, David John Marotta calculates the actual unemployment rate of those not working at a sky-high 37.2 percent, not the 6.7 percent advertised by the Fed, and the Misery Index at over 14, not the 8 claimed by the government.
in just a little over two weeks how could UE go from 37.2% to 6.6% ??????
Even if that is accurate it still keeps the rate at or very near it's lowest number since 1978 .

The rate peaked in 2000 unbder Clinton and has been going down ever since. The pause you mention is due to Bush's War of choice which reduced the the denominator, the non-institutional population.Even if that is accurate it still keeps the rate at or very near it's lowest number since 1978 .

How can you "talk down" a robust economy??? The GOP have been trying to talk down the economy for the last 5 years and yet the economy is growing. The most the GOP have been able to do is slow down the recovery, but all their doom and gloom talk has failed to cause a crash like the Bush Regime accomplished. The Bush economy crashed because it was a house of cards, the GOP have failed to crash the Obama economy with their doom and gloom talk because it is founded on solid economic principles.Remember 2004 when employment was much better than it is now? Even the state senator from Illinois who was hoping to win a seat in the U.S. Senate took to the air to talk down the economy. What was that guy's name? I know I should remember.
And then the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, and what happened? Oh yeah, that's right ......
Democrats called 2004 a "jobless recovery" and their sheeple took them seriously.
The numbers State Senator Obama was trashing were 5.6% unemployment and 310,000 new jobs the month before.
Good job Obama.

Isn't amazing how the "Gubmit" works in Joseph Gobbels mode?
Hell, I'm surprised, frankly, that Barry's minions haven't announced that there is 100% employment right now. Why wait" Hell, his bootlickers would be on trumpeting their great leaders "success".
We are more propagandized in America right now that the USSR ever was ...

That last line about propaganda is correct, and it accounts for why so many of our weakminded citizens believe that climate change is a hoax, that the President is not American, that the deficits are going up when in fact they're shrinking, that the President is anti-capitalism even though no big bankers went to prison and the stock market keeps breaking records, and so on and so on...
So, what do you liberals define as a success? The status quo? When 1,754,000 people leave the workforce or are discouraged from work in the past two months combined, who gives a damn if it was the same amount last year? It means people are dropping out of the workforce at an alarming rate! That that many more people that won't be available to fill important jobs!
How do you not see this?

Weak minded (two words, not one) involves thinking that a 6.6% unemployment rate is a good thing despite so many people beginning to give up on searching for work. I gave up a long time ago. Climate change is real, the man made aspect is a hoax. Our yearly budget deficits are indeed going down, but our overall debt is increasing! It's funny you tout the man as pro-capitalism, when you go about bandying your "99%" nonsense.
You're kidding, right?
