The labor participation rate came out late today. I can see why they delayed it. Another 150,000 left the work force. I wonder how many are in the social security disability program. SSA standards for receiving disability now includes people depressed over not finding a job. I guess Obama wants to shift all unemployed to the disability program and get those unemployment numbers down.
