Is this the longest recession in U.S. history? IJA.

"How Is Unemployment Defined and Measured?

http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/Unemployment.html

"Each month, the federal government's Bureau of Labor Statistics randomly surveys sixty thousand individuals around the nation. If respondents say they are both out of work and seeking employment, they are counted as unemployed members of the labor force. Jobless respondents who have chosen not to continue looking for work are considered out of the labor force and therefore are not counted as unemployed. Almost half of all unemployment spells end because people leave the labor force. Ironically, those who drop out of the labor force—whether because they are discouraged, have household responsibilities, or are sick—actually make unemployment rates look better; the unemployment rate includes only people within the labor force who are out of work."

That wasn't the question. Learn to keep up. Originally Posted by Doove

+1!

Coove, there you go calling names instead of understanding what you are talking about begore you say it.
Raising the minimum wage is not something I have ever taken a position on in this forum.
I suppose your understanding of economics is not the best. Because of the policies of this administration, inflation has far outpaced wages for all but a few.

Wonder if anyone has factored in the boomers retiring?

But if you recall (Harry can't) Pelosi said ... pass it and lets see what's in it.

Well? .................... She is a lying sack of shit. Harry is just brain dead.

Wonder if they factored in the boomers retiring on the statistics in the ones dropping out of the job market?

"Retired" people are not looking for a job, right?
Those "not looking for a job" are NOT COUNTED AS UNEMPLOYED!

"Knuckle draggers"? ... You guys are still on all fours! Not even upright yet!



May be still scrambling around in the rocks. Clueless.
