Going from a 66 percent labor participation rate to a 62 percent level kind of skews your graph a bit. -
Depending on which labor force participation they are using in that graph. It's to be expected labor force participation will go down when the baby boomers retire.greenblood said:Causation:

I can see why some people choose to sit on their asses
Some of those stats piss me off
The best:
In 39 states, the welfare rate is higher than the federal minimum wage.
In 6 states, the welfare rate exceeds $12/hr
In 8 States, the welfare rate is more than an average teacher salary

I'm curious how they came up with those numbers, the source didn't break it down by state. I'm guessing it's the max possible benefit (combining SSI, SNAP, TANF etc.).greenblood said:http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/
