Remember the Labor Participation Rate? It was the star of the jobs report on FOX News for 8 years under Obama. It’s called to 62.0%. People are retiring. People that unemployed gave up looking for work.

Regardless. I think UE is rising and will be above 5% soon. I don’t think people really understand how terrible Trump has been on jobs. To go a whole year with basically no jobs created is a massive bomb waiting to drop in working people.
