If we have to depend on Congress to fix this, we're all doomed.Little Miss Marxist is playing the Democrat game,"Hey look, a squirrel!" Trying desperately to distract from THE key issue now; the dangerously weak economy and the country's impending bankruptcy.Associated Press on the Latest Jobs Numbers: A Recovery ‘Isn’t Supposed to Be This Way’....It isn’t supposed to be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to bring people back into the job market.Instead, the number of Americans in the labor force – those who have a job or are looking for one – fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force – what’s called the participation rate – fell to 63.3 percent last month. It’s the lowest such figure since May 1979....People without a job who stop looking for one are no longer counted as unemployed. That’s why the U.S. unemployment rate dropped in March despite weak hiring. If the 496,000 who left the labor force last month had still been looking for jobs, the unemployment rate would have risen to 7.9 percent in March.“Unemployment dropped for all the wrong reasons,” says Craig Alexander, chief economist with TD Bank Financial Group. “It dropped because more workers stopped looking for jobs. It signaled less confidence and optimism that there are jobs out there.”http://www.theblaze....to-be-this-way/
