unless those 15 million are youngin's and not part of the labor force .
Some. And lots of older people. 11 million more of them are 65+ who mostly don't work in 2014 than 2000. My 90-year-old grandmother, such a slacker for not having a job.
2000-2010 saw a very modest growth in under 18 population, so mostly it's that there's a lot more older people rather than a lot of children who should be in the sweat shops.
See a big jump in hiring in November. It happens every year no matter what.
Remember there are a lot of people hired part time and some full time for the Holiday period. This all counts as new hires. January 10, and the big majority of them are laid off. Happens every year. When people get excited due to big jumps in hiring in November, it shows they have never been around doing the hiring for the holiday period and really don't know what is going on in the employment picture. And the majority of those November new hires will be for low pay jobs, not the ones that take care of a family.
The ones hiring, will be restaurants, retail, delivery services, warehouses, and other low paid jobs. A lot of people that have no future with the company. I know when in the retail field, I hired a lot of people for a couple of months, and as soon as business fell of back to normal or below normal due to winter weather conditions slowing down business, l laid them off as soon as business did it's natural decline. Just as the employers do today.
A lot of those hired, were not in the normal employment picture as they were housewives, retired men and woman, college students, etc., who wanted to earn a little money for Christmas.
Getting excited about a big bunch of people being hired in November and thinks that good jobs are opening up again, is kind of silly.
Too bad most of them pay nothing and have no benefits or insurance. It will take decent jobs to get the country back on track and get an engaged workforce.

It's kind of silly to think that a job doesn't Trump not having a job , (November 2016) is better than all (Novembers since 2007) see the glass as half full instead half empty.

I think higher minimum wage and automation explains the 16 to 24 drop in employment rate. Higher minimum wage benefits the best service sector workers who keep a job but hurts those who were barely employable to begin with.

Not in seasonally adjusted data. Unless the current year's blip is larger than usual. Things like school graduation and holiday hiring are major reasons why we have seasonally adjusted data, SA is your friend...use it.
