Oh these are gonna make poor Gilligan's head hurt...he must have taken a course in economics somewhere...he acts like he knows something. (of course every time he types, he proves otherwise...but that is what happens when your source is Redstate and Ace of Spades)
Wasn't the labor force participation rate one of your primary b!tches under Obama? it hasn't moved under Trump. Oh but that doesn't matter now, right?

Vrai keeps pointing out the booming economy and points to jobs...but job growth was slower last year than the previous years. The unemployment rate is good, but it's been on this trajectory for 7 years. In fact, the lower number is actually not great. Why? Because we aren't pulling workers back into the labor force like we should be. Go back to the point about the labor force participation rate.
All the ignorati hate immigrants because they "take American jobs"...yet what all the numbers about employment prove is that there are plenty of open jobs (roughly 6 million), the economy is creating a decent number of new jobs every month but Americans aren't coming off the couch to claim the job that are there.
TRUMP: “We’re making incredible progress. The women’s unemployment rate hit the lowest level that it’s been in 17 years. Well, that’s something. And women in the workforce reached a record high. ... That’s really terrific, and especially since it’s on my watch.” — at women’s event Tuesday.
THE FACTS: Again — yes, but. The 4 percent jobless rate for women is at a 17-year low, just as it is for the overall population. But the labor force participation rate by women is lower today than in 2000. The proportion of women in the workforce is not at a record high.

TRUMP: “Our country is doing very well. Economically, we’ve never had anything like it.” — from Oval Office on Tuesday.
THE FACTS: Never say never. The U.S. economy had better employment stats during the 2000 tech boom, just for one example. It’s enjoyed stock market surges before. It’s had blazing, double-digit annual growth, a far cry from the 3.2 percent achieved during the second and third quarters of 2017. That was the best six-month pace since 2014 — hardly the best ever.
The economy added about 170,000 new jobs a month during Trump’s first year. That was slightly below the average of 185,000 in Obama’s last year.
