The number of Americans 16 and older who did not participate in the labor force climbed to a record high of 92,120,000 in June, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

This means that there were 92,120,000 Americans 16 and older who not only did not have a job, but did not actively seek one in the last four weeks.

That is up 111,000 from the 92,009,000 Americans who were not participating in the labor force in April.

One thing I do not understand is why on the one hand, democrats slam GOP obstructionism, and attribute it to the lack of economic progress, but on the other hand, attribute all good news to the white house.

So which is it?

Anything that makes the boy king look good they like. Anything that makes him look bad it's somebody else's fault.

The Dems own the keys to the bus. We're just along for the ride with no input as to where we are going.

Wait, so all Americans 16 and older? What is that number minus the elderly, handicapped, disabled, and homemakers? Oh and the lazy with their hands out?

Print money (QE), buy bonds...stimulate the economy. What does it matter how many participate in productive work or don't. This thing is like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain pulling chains ; sooner or later the curtain goes up. Or rather, goes down.

They had better get to digging oil/NG and ramping up to market it to a desperate world, when the ME goes rogue and shuts down the oil over there.

Utter delusion up there.
