Yeah, except the labor participation rate only calculates the rate based on working age people and deducts the old folks.
Sorry, try another tactic, outright lies aren't going to work, you might have to actually do some research.

almost 100% due to baby boomers retiring, idiot.

The first of the baby boomers didn't even start retiring until 2011 there dummy. What you are claiming is that in 3 years nearly 3% of the entire US population retired. That would be 9.5 million people. Now according to you since 100% of the labor force participation rate is ALL due to retirees, we can expect to see 20% of the working population retire over the next 16 years and no new babies being born to take new ones. The participation rate will be 45% then? Really? Are you a moron? yes!

Either that or you are trying to say that the death rate in the US exceeds the birth rate, thats the only way the participation rate could possible go down unless of course people are unemployed. We know that isn't true don't we? The US population is expected to grow by millions each year, unfortunately none of them will ever get a job. They will be just like you, professional moochers who never get jobs as long as they can find suckers (wives) who put up with their shit.

Out of the jobs created too many are part time and low paying.

I remember this trend started under W. when fast food workers were being counted in the manufacturing sector since they made cheese burgers and tacos.

These positive numbers have an anemic and sickly economic undertone.

It is a long awaited step in the right direction.

It's the easiest quarter to get it also. It's the quarter where summer starts and tourism season kicks off in much of America.

If it is duplicated in the next 2 quarters then I'll be sucking the Mulatto in Chief's dick with your mouth.

Until then, it's one good quarter out of a lot of bad ones.

I don't care who is sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom this week; that statistic has been so gamed as to offer a laughably misrepresentative view of our economic situation.

Damn near everyone on these boards is 'unemployed' - or worse, not even counted because we gave up looking for one- by the standards of the Federal Statutes governing their analysis.

In other words, a sham. A smokescreen to cover the fact that America has been hollowed out by an uber upper class, whom through complete, cynical and contemptuous manipulation of our economic and political system, has stymied America's growth and progress as a civilization by stealing her wealth from the other 99.9% of us who actually did the work of earning it.

Obama was chosen, bought and paid for by this group, as was Romney and everyone else who had an outside chance at real power.

When Congress and the Supreme Court actually equated cash flow with free speech and access to the rights of citizenship, I felt our current era stepped past a boundary, one the 'uber class' will pay dearly for as the pendulum swings back.

My worst fear is that they'll take the whole thing down with them, the rest of us 99 percenters included.

The graph is beautiful proof of my contention, that if income were more evenly distributed- nevermind taxed- GDP that is currently languishing in the 'extremely worrying if not actually falling' zone would be stunningly different for the better...

FOR EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE AT THE TOP.

I am even more impressed with how much you crammed into your signature line than I am by what you chose to include.

Whom did you quote? It sounds like something George Carlin would be pissed HE didn't get to say while he was still around!
