When adjusted for LFPR they are not remotely similar. That's the point. What is it about that fact that you do not understand?

The liberal response to your graph: "The decrease in labor force participation is a good thing. It means people have more time to stay home and write that novel or take sculpture classes instead of slaving away to serve corporate greed."

there are a lot of other factors that play in to in other than just LFPR. This recession was considerably worse on multiple fronts, including net job losses at the end as a result from the recession (double for recent recession compared to 80s).

Then add the cause of the recession, and what could be done to address it which were both different in both cases, and youre going to get different results.
