I love how they ignored the labor force participation rate at all times during the Trump administration, but they are trotting it out again. I guarantee Earl does not know what it is. None of them do, but they read about it in their stupid right wing sites and come here and parrot what they read.
Here are the facts. When baby boomers began to retire, and fewer high school students got jobs, the rate dropped, for obvious reasons. During the Trump administration, the rate went from 62.7 when Trump took office, to 63.3 (less than a one percent increase) pre pandemic, before dropping, and then slowly recovering. When Trump left office, the rate was 62.2. The rate now stands at 62.6.
So the rate has gone UP under Biden. Even though boomers continue to retire. Earl doesn't understand anything.

If the labor force participation rate goes down, it does not mean fewer people are working. Earl is a fucking moron.
