Dear Lizzie retardutor what part of "Civilian labor force" don't you understand. And what part of "Employment" do you not understand. Add those employed and those unemployed and that is the "Civilian labor force" This is not rocket science, this is third grade math. I am not surprised you need someone to tell you whatever. My data is from stats.bls.gov I prefer going directly to the source and not rely on filtered talking head sites.

Of course, you look at this and its not so bad- -about average research.stlouisfed.org Not bad at all considering the massive bubble your heroes blew that then burst in 2000. But then you are very much in favor of cherry-picking your statistics. So why don't you want to cherry pick this one on economic growth or inflation or the stock market? Because it blows your case apart? cbs.marketwatch.com But be so kind as to explain to us why you think ANNUALIZED NON FARM PAYROLLS are the only important number? Because it affacts you? Because only YOU count? You know, Silly Valley maybe be once again in one of its repeated periodic slumps BUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY ISN'T DOING BAD AT ALL! But what the H**l, who cares what happens to all those other Americans?
