It’s because stagnant wages FORCED them to stay in the workforce. Fucking Trump.

I hear they have to take at least two jobs to make it.

You disagree with the fact that wages have been pretty stagnant for the past few decades relative to cost of living?

AOC said unemployment is low because everyone is working 2 or 3 jobs. I think she’s spot on.

Sledog

No meaningful raises under Obama.

HustlinOwl

I love the idea that it's good for both parents have jobs and put the kids in daycare.

GreenRiverGatorz

There's a lot to like about steadily low unemployment.

But the labor participation rate was and continues to be an issue. It moved from 62.8% in January 2017 to last month's 63.4%. That's some 7-6 bullshit you're creaming your pants over.

RaceBannon

We just need more tim

You have no idea of the damage that Obama did

Growth numbers should be up this year. We haven't completed a quarter yet. The unemployment being low should raise labor participation. All true

Maybe this fabled coming together I keep hearing about could help. So far its been EOs

That's why it matters that the democrats have gone so far left as to be useless in any economics.

Slackers.

Toss in the million plus of legal chain migration from third world countries with no English or job skills plus the usual slew of illegal alien electrical engineers from Central America and that has no impact on the labor participation rate?Trump has a big ship finally turned the right way. Too bad the away team and the dems want to reverse course.

I guess Bill Clinton must have been the greatest President evah!


Meanwhile, back in the rational world:

“In 2019, the last of the baby boomers will reach age 55 and transition into age groups with much lower labor force participation rates. Due in large part to an aging population, the labor force participation rate for all workers (age 16 and over) is projected to decline to 61.0 percent in 2026.”(emphasis added)

The Clinton era was good. He focused on the economy, stupid. He worked with Congress and the good times rolled

I go for results. I voted for him twice

RaceBannon

Democrats opposed the tax cuts and want to get rid of them. Allegedly. They want to reimpose massive regulation. They want to take over large swaths of the economy and jack spending even more than the current spender in chief

So Trump. Rather easily

You can’t be right. Income taxes went up from the very start of his presidency. Communism!
