Rush is really way off on the size of the labor pool. He was implying the administration has been cooking the books to keep unemployment lower than it would be.

Its pretty embarassing. People with jobs and those seeking jobs are the work force. The number shrinks when people go underground, or give up, or move back to Central America. He made the changes in this number sound so sinister. If there has been a change in calculation method he should document it. I guess its one of the .4% of times he is documented to be completely wrong!
