Labor participation is not the same as unemployment.golfboy » 16 Feb 2016 8:29 am » wrote:
So let's look at the numbers, shall we?
BLS says that labor participation rate is 62.7%
That means 37.3% are not participating in the job market.
And that market excludes anyone under 16.
So yea, I'd say that Trump's number is really close.
Stay at home parents, retirees, students etc are not unemployed.
You know this.
