You should be embarrassed to post this.

Guess the stock market is too high for you today?

Unemployment hasn't been this high since July.

Someone as educated as yourself would know this is a good thing because of these numbers:


""The unemployment rate increased to 3.9 percent from near a 49-year low of 3.7 percent in November as a strong labor market pulled some 419,00 jobless Americans from the sidelines""

the participation rate is unchanged

not true; it didn't raise much but it did raise

""The labor force participation rate, or the proportion of working-age Americans who have a job or are looking for one, rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 63.1 percent, the highest level since September 2017.""

and you're laughing why?

I am laughing at you desperately trying to make 2 tenths of a point matter.

Actually there's nothing desperate about it and that's about the increment that indicator generally moves.

Stock market is still about 2,000 points below what it was 12 months ago, before the Russia Tax Cut.

He laughs when he is nervous. It finally dawned on him he is part of the reason for the non participation rate.

Wasn't that the entire exercise of your OP?
