People not in labor force
soar by 663,000 to 90 million, labor force participation rate at 1979 levels
Zero Hedge – Tyler Durden –
4/5/2013
Things just keep getting
worse for the American worker, and by implication US economy, where as we have
shown many times before, it pays just as well to sit back and collect
disability and various welfare and entitlement checks, than to work .
THE BEST MANIFESTATION OF
THIS: THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE WHICH IN MARCH SOARED BY A
MASSIVE 663,000 TO A RECORD 90 MILLION AMERICANS WHO ARE NO LONGER EVEN LOOKING
FOR WORK.
This was the biggest monthly
increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the
BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force
participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest
since 1979! But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda
that the US
unemployment rate is "improving."
The only reason the unemployment rate is "improving" is because people are dropping out of the search for employment by signing up for disability!
