In the past year, the number of people who were "not in the labor force" rose by 1.4 million. They're leaving for different reasons. Some are going back to school. Some are retiring early.

All signs of a prosperous economy that allows people to improve themselves or enjoy their accumulated wealth.

At 62.1% in March, the employment-to-population ratio is hovering near its lowest level in a decade.

I wonder how this compares within a longer historical perspective and how much of that is due to mothers having the ability to stay home with their children.

Here it comes, now that the job creation is starting to happen, they have to find a way to lose that info...so create some new way to make everything look bad. I can here it now, new talking points.. the employment-to-population ratio is hovering near its lowest level in a decade.
