The US unemployment rate is a fraud and has been for a very very long time.

Yep, but even Shadow Stats shows a small drop in their figures.

We shouldn't be tracking UNemployment anyway, we should be tracking EMPLOYMENT.

We track labor participation. This month over 600,000 people dropped out of the labor force.

If you are trying to mentally square that many people dropping out of the labor force in a single month with a reported drop in unemployment, well... it don’t make much sense, does it?
