Looking at the new unemployment numbers


The number of people not in the labor force soared by 450,000 in June. Those not in labor force who want a job grew by 310,000. It is just shocking that people are still leaving the labor force two years into a recovery. The job participation rate is back to where it was over 27 years ago. The data are available here.
