http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t01.htm

As one reads Table A-1 in the total participation rate, we can see that people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million just for the month of January


So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million.

Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation







Now if one looks more deeply into Table A-1 and then to Table A-6

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t06.htm

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t09.htm

and lastly to Table A-9, one sees it is workers over 55 are a growing percentage of the labor force while those under 65 are declining in percentage of the labor force.

Also as one continues to peruse Table A-9, once can see the numbers of full-time and part-time jobs creatd. 80k full time jobs and 699k part-time jobs. That means only 10% of the jobs created were full-time jobs ( ie real jobs).


One has to wonder how many of the 699k part-time jobs were holiday related????



And for those who are asking, so what is the real unemployment number if the 8.xxx number pushed by government is profanity???

The answer is , if one counted unemployment like FDR did then it would be 23%

Ya, you're not allowed to swear, and I never knew BT supported what FDR did. Maybe I was misreading him all these years when he was riling everyone up against him. Apparently FDR WAS doing things the right way and could count more clearly than the rest of us.


Countdown to BT running?

Oh how embarrassing. BT made a mountain out of a mole hill, a prime example of how quickly self-proclaimed economic experts show their foolishness. The .3% change in participation rate is actually around 0%, as the drop was from the BLS making a once-a-decade adjustment for the census.

http://spectator.org/blog/2012/02/03/participation-rate-issue-less

"In particular, Durden says that the civilian non-institutional population rose by 1.7 million month-over-month but doesn't mention that almost all of that increase was due to an adjustment by Bureau of Labor Statistics based on the results of the 2010 census, plus smaller annual adjustments.

From the BLS report:
The adjustment increased the estimated size of the civilian noninstitutional population in December by 1,510,000, the civilian labor force by 258,000, employment by 216,000, unemployment by 42,000, and persons not in the labor force by 1,252,000. Although the total unemployment rate was unaffected, the labor force participation rate and the employment-population ratio were each reduced by 0.3 percentage point. This was because the population increase was primarily among persons 55 and older and, to a lesser degree, persons 16 to 24 years of age. Both these age groups have lower levels of labor force participation than the general population.

In other words, the participation rate (employment-population ratio) was reported to have dropped by 0.3%, exactly the amount of participation rate "drop" created by changing the population number used in the calculation (due to updated census data.) Without this once-a-decade adjustment, the change in participation rate would have been reported as...wait for it...zero.

I don't want to overstate the significance of Durden's oversight, which conservative voices around the media and the web are also making, namely the idea that the participation rate dropped 0.3 percent and the labor force dropped more than 1.2 million in the past month. Those things are simply not true no matter how loudly people scream "conspiracy" and "propaganda." (Having been trading financial markets for about 25 years, I've heard these same accusations about economic data being manipulated to help the incumbent president -- whether Democrat or Republican -- so many times, they just bore me now.)"

blah blah blah



Its not only this but baby boomers are dropping out of the job market at a clip of about 15000 per day, every single Jan there is a drop in labor force because of seasonal work and companies do most of their layoffs in December to avoid a mountain of tax crap, insurances, etc etc. This is all crap we learned in like 10th grade economics, I have no idea why BT is posting it because its too stupid for even him to believe.

Source? The numbers in the BLS show those over 65 are gaining employment not dropping out ... those under 55 are losing jobs and those are not the baby boomer generation. But I showed that in my OP, someone ( as usual) ignore reality for the favor of falsehood

Nice try though

"And while the actual participation rate might in fact be this new lower number, that would also mean that prior numbers were lower. In other words, the top-line change -- caused almost entirely by using new census population numbers -- is an artifact of the new census data, but few people have read to the end of the BLS report to get that important piece of information."

Once again, your analysis is a steaming pile of fail. You forgot that we have a record percentage of retirees in the population, and January is the prime retirement month. While I'm sure the "real" number of people dropping out of the workforce is definitely obscuring the true unemployment rate, that has been true for a very long time and the drop in unemployment in January is still an accomplishment.

Do they keep the labor force up high? Like is it a bad fall, did they all break something?

BTW, the analysis is profanity.



We could not too long ago. Strangely, we still can on broadcast television, but IGN has "higher" standards or some profanity.

No one has disproved the numbers so i can't see how?


By this logic, you never stated why public schooling is bad so they are certainly good AND you never explained how or why cities are going to bulldoze homes en masse, so it's not actually going to happen and you were wrong in your predictions.

Pretty much this. It has been going on for a long, long time and our total lack of manufacturing points to it lasting for awhile longer. It's just a crappy situation.

I made periodic posts as a mod clarifying that it is not ok and hasn't been ok for about a decade now. Just because someone might have done it and gotten away with it doesn't mean it's allowed. This is nothing new..

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
- Proverbs 6:16-19

The doctrine of eternal punishment is in perfect harmony with the savagery of the men who made the orthodox creeds. It is in harmony with torture, with flaying alive, and with burnings. The men who burned their fellow-men for a moment, believed that God would burn his enemies forever. - Robert Green Ingersoll

The government lies to us about the numbers of its people it has forced into destitution and I have a cross-stroker here telling me to stop lying ... LOL!!!!
