These same FReepers spent the last 8+ years screaming that the employment and job numbers were nothing but lies.

I don't care who's President, when we have yet another record number of people out of the workforce to the tune of some 94,000,000 now an unemployment rate of 4.3% is just plain bullshit.

It was bullshit under Obama and it's bullshit under Trump.

Current population is 321 million.

25% of Population is 0-18 yrs old
15% of population is 65+
That is 40%, leaving 60% possible for the workforce.

321 x 60%= 192.6 million possible for the work force

Current work force is at 159.784 Million

Current labor participation is 62.7%
Since 1980, the highest labor participation rate was 67.3%, for a few months in 2000

Currently, there are 125.53 million people working.

So...you do the math.

Where are these 94 million you claim?
