Sailor touched it.

He's insinuating people like cawacky don't want to work that's why the growth is slow.

He says good paying jobs are there.

It turns out the labor participation rate was lower in September of 2015 at 62.4% than it is now at 62.7%. That was in the provided link. The gross number of people not participating in the labor force is higher now versus then for a very simple reason. The population as a whole has increased. Seems that CNSnews is being intentionally disingenuous with their headline.

The tax bill in conjunction with the lessening of the regulatory burden will undoubtedly help.

Could this be from ppl retiring too?

Yes, but for some reason, oddly enough to say between the dates January 20, 2009 and January 20, 2017 - the Reich Wing would not accept that as a driving reason behind dropping participation rates.

yes but it also includes teens and grandmas. another case of trump getting caught up in his own lies.

maybe

I expect that it will stay roughly the same, maybe even rise, as more and more Boomers hang it up and head off into the retirement sunset.
