Does anyone have the figure yet on how many people dropped out of the labor market last month? Still haven’t seen that number yet. Something is fishy.
The numbers are crap. Lots of self employed people never showed up on unemployment rolls and have simply fallen into pure odd jobs survival mode and many of them have been forced to accept food stamps.
The sellers at the local farmer’s market say they can spot them because they’re bargain shoppers. They say some are even offering to do farm work under the table.
802,000 discourage workers: numbers here:
