>> Seattle has seen a decline in its labor participation rate even as its unemployment rate has been dropping to 3.9%, making a joke of the argument that the LPR is too low for this economic recovery:

I'm not going to argue a topic you clearly can't grasp.

In other words, you don't have a response. You look for any excuse to hold onto your partisan and/or ideological positions including claiming Zakaria is Iranian.

The article you cited touches on the subject in a far more complex manner and talks about long term, structural problems that the author believes have been in play since the 1970s and not since 2008. The article does not bolster your argument that the recovery under way is bad because the labor participation rate is low.

In fact, nearly half of US metro areas are at what economists argue is full employment. And many markets are experiencing labor shortages.

Dem are the facts.
