Some food for thought ...

- Under Obama the number of working-age Americans not in the labor force is at all-time highs.

- Under Obama the workplace participation rate of men is the lowest in history.

- Under Obama the workforce participation rate of women is the lowest on record.

- Under Obama the workforce participation rate for black Americans is at the lowest level ever recorded.

- Over 800,000 people dropped out of the workforce last month. That's almost one million Americans who have given up…in a month.

Because millions of the unemployed have given up looking for work, the unemployment rate has dropped to 6.3%. Obama calls that's good news. Heck at this rate the whole nation might give up looking for a job by the time Obama leaves office…and he'll report we have reached full employment.

Is Obama a jinx upon America? | Fox News

I like how the author uses the words "workplace" and "workforce" when he really means "labor force." And then he goes on to falsely characterize everyone leaving the labor force as "giving up." Retirees, people who quit working or looking for work to go to school, people who become unable to work (temporarily or permanently), people who need to look after kids or parents, etc all leave the labor force.

Less Americans are working now than in the past, yet the US population has steadily increased. It's a fact that Bush had more Americans working than does Obama, and this is especially troubling considering that the US population has increased by 8 figures since Obama took over.

Why is this still in politics? Clearly a flamer.

Yes, Dubya/GOP dug a WIDE AND DEEP hole

Weird after 8 years of 'job creator' policies Dubya lost 673,000+ PRIVATE sector jobs and since hitting Bush's bottom more than 10+ million have been created (March 2010). I know it's Obama's policies that are a failure *shaking head*

I almost feel bad for Dubya. His Presidency will be remembered for his idiocy, crony capitalism, and warmongering.

I truly think he had good intentions. But what's that road to hell paved with again?

And don't forget his being a recovering alcoholic. That alone really enhanced his decision making process. Wait.....DICK made most of the errant decisions....then blamed poor delusional W.

W Bush has the distinct honor of being the only President besides Herbert Hoover who actually lost jobs during his term in office. That is pretty sad...

Jobs created during U.S. presidential terms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And you loons are berating a drop in the unemployment rate.....INCREDIBLE!

Sad is when more troops cheer for the previous CIC vs. the current CIC. SEE West Point Commencement.
