too bad for little ferries like you we don't use the U6 number.

The borg is strong with this one.

NLXSK1 said:
If you compare U6 to U6 is that still the case?

Why do you righties always try to make this argument? U6 is always higher than U3 and it is decreasing just like U3 numbers. If you want to prattle on about labor participation rate. Why dont you tell me when more people are retiring than they are now?

*sigh*

Does reality invade your world occasionally?

oh, that's fucking ironic right there from the guy who says forest fires cause global cooling.

The job participation percentage is the lowest in 36 years. You have to go back to Carter to have this much raw unemployment.

if you're not in the labor market, you don't get counted in the unemployed you fetid ass rabbit.

I do not see how this can be construed by anyone to be good news.
IMHO, it is indeed calamitous.

Isn't part of the drop attributable to the baby boomers?

I concede that may be a contributory factor, regardless, the participation rate is NOT rosy news any way it is interpreted or adjusted.

attention!, attention all k-mart shoppers..

it's "UCT-6" not "U-6" that is the name of the unemployment quarterly return you keep referencing incorrectly..

i'm sorry, i couldn't take it anymore.

It's still UCT up.

I did NOT claim it was, but THEY claim it will be even lower by 2020.

How much is this offset by the rising retirement age?

ChesusRice · Jan 10, 2014

300000 baby boomers retire every month

What we need to do is cut Social Security out altogether so we can get as much labor participation as we can.
