Did they point out to you there that the participation rate was much lower in the 1950's up to the 1980's?
Good point Buzzards27!
No doubt this dramatic decline of participation in the workforce is the direct result of millions of women quitting their jobs to bake cookies and attend PTA meetings with June Cleaver.
It is not good, and i am not lying. 9 people from one place of employment were just let go, a mananger that has been with the company for over 12 years, was also let go. She is so upset with the other eight let go. This was from one place of employment.
I know people also whose hours have been greatly reduced. And people working double loads. This is a good economy, does not look that way to me.
Some very established firms, are also letting people go, it is actually getting darn scary out there. And this is some of that Chagne brought onto us from Obama, which was suppose to bring us Hope and Good Change.
I want the number of all unemployed who have actually stopped looking, and cannot find a job.
Yea the economy is far from getting better. Housing is down south. Iran a huge problem.
So things are only getting worst by the day. Obama wants a reelection so of course everything is great!

You were fooled! Hope and Change for the worst or into a socialist nation!

Ahh, you do know that the economy is growing right? Iran has always been a big problem. Why are you whining about Obama?
Perphaps you should actually look at GDP growth before you start talking about the economy not getting better.

That would be about 22%....Great Depression type numbers eh ?
Add to that percentage the people in this country that are massively underemployed, and that number may well exceed 30%. These are the numbers liberals don't want people to see. It sounds much better when the liberal friendly media keeps the percentage count hovering around 8%.
