Interesting.
Back when we were wondering about the Labor Force Participation rate, no one seemed to care.
Now, it’s important?
There are jobs out there to be had if one wants to work be it menial back breaking labor (I did this as a young man before becoming educated). These jobs range from menial to high tech and science. The jobs are there.
Today if one is not working it is due to the fact one has worked long and hard and wisely and no longer needs to work. The others that do not work and do not need to work are those that choose to and live off social welfare programs. They have chosen a miserable life but they chose it. I have no sympathy for them.
We live in the greatest nation on earth that will allow anyone to become anything they want to be.
