A record 1.2 million Americans left the labor force? 1.2 million?! Well, where’d they go? Oh, just left? Well, OK. But no, wait. What does that even mean?
...........................................................
It means that the 1.2 Million should be added to the 8.3% that are out of work, giving us a total that doesn’t make Obama’s big comeback look like so much of a success.

Just another lie from our Government that is lying to us care of Obama.

Labor Participation Rate

The LPR measures the number of people employed or looking for work
compared to the total of age eligible population. As shown in the graph,
the LPR has been on a slow decline since January, 2002 but has plunged
precipitously since Barack Obama took office.

LPR: Jan 2009 = 65.7 million
LPR Jan 2012 = 63.7 million

He’ll get a pass on made up unemployment numbers just like he gets a pass on his past lives.

The sad thing is that beyond this article, Free Republic, a few web sites and talk Radio.....

You will not hear anything about this by the Republicans in Washington DC or Mitt Romney. They will sit in silence about it. Now if we had a real opposition party, then it would all over the news pointing this out.
