In reply to the discussion: Economy Adds 120K Jobs In March; Unemployment Falls To 8.2 Percent [View all]former9thward
(31,941 posts)40. I think we are talking past each other.
Do you think people dropping out of the workforce because they are too discouraged they will ever find a job is a good thing? Because that is what is happening. And that is why the unemployment rate is dropping. Not because jobs are being added. People are dropping out because there are no jobs they can find. That is a good thing???
