As I wrote in my column two weeks ago, the "drop out" rate -- those who have left the work force because they are discouraged -- is NOT an unknown. It stands at 0.30% now. During the Clinton interregnum, it stood at 0.23%. The difference amounts to 91,000 extra unemployed but unreported people.

The indirect statistics in this article come from an economics professor on the same faculty as Paul Krugman. Need I say more?

Wouldn't this proposed new-fangled method yield goofy results over time as the big wave of Baby Boomers retire?

Please disregard if the artile addresses the question ... I plan to read the rest of it after this post.

(BTW, Great article the other day, Congressman Billbob! Do it some more!)
