Absurd US Labor Stats

As you may have heard, the US unemployment rate is way down. You can read about it here:

But did you know that the number of people not in the US labor force is at an all-time high? You can read about that here:

So, all those people don't even want a job?

I don't know what Trump will do, but if he continues this kind of BS reporting of US labor stats, he's just as phony as the clowns who are now running the place.

  1. As this writer observes, the jobs report is a prime example of "fake news" - https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/the-jobs-report-is-the-original-fake-news-200745886.html

    On the other hand, I have no problem with the 40% unemployment number. Those who cannot find jobs are being lumped with those who don't want jobs, and that is just BS.
