The unemployment rate, the figure that dominates reporting on the economy, is the fraction of the labor force (those working or seeking work) that is unemployed. This rate has declined slowly since the end of the Great Recession. What hasn’t recovered over that same period is the labor force participation rate, which today stands roughly where it did in 1977.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
Earlier in the day Ytz4Mee had sighted a potential menace.
DETROIT – As a 54-year-old Roseville man clings to life in the hospital following a brutal mob beating on Detroit’s east side, many are starting to wonder if the whole thing was racially motivated.
As first reported by WWJ Newsradio 950, an 11-year-old boy suffered a broken leg on Wednesday when he was hit by a pickup truck after walking into the street near Morang and Balfour. The driver, Steven Utash, immediately got out of his truck after hitting the boy and was viciously attacked by 10 to 12 men. The beating was so brutal, Utash was rendered unconscious.
Later in the program Hillary calls America “sexist”: Addressing hundreds of women, Clinton said there’s a double-standard for how women are treated in the media and that she counsels young women to be resilient when they face challenges. “Believe me, this is hard-won advice,” Clinton said to laughter.

SACRAMENTO – Officials at Sacramento Unified School District need to remind themselves that public schools belong to the public, and the public has a right to express itself about education issues.
Katherine Duran is the mother of a student at Sacramento’s Mark Twain Elementary, and one of many parents with deep concerns about the school’s scheduled transformation to Common Core math and English standards in the fall.
As a form of protest, Duran printed out a bunch of forms for parents, which they can sign if they want to have their children opted out of Common Core testing.
She gave the forms to her son, Christopher Duran, who handed them to other students to take home to their parents. (more…)
In what can only be compared to a scene from Fort Apache the Bronx – two weeks ago the police in Louisville, Kentucky shouted ‘you’re on your own’ and ran back to their offices.
200+ black youth and young black people thugs had taken to the streets to riot, steal, assault and attack the community around them. The thugs mobbed stores, stole merchandise and then went on numerous riots. (videos here)
Packs of thugs attacked cars and dragged people from their vehicles. White men and white women around the city were brutalized. Seventeen simultaneous events were happening around the city. The police were overwhelmed.
However, what was more surprising than the police being literally overwhelmed, was their admission they could not stop the rampaging mobs.
The PC frozen police could not name the suspects, they could not describe the suspects, they could not even discuss the motives of the suspects who collectively realized they now had the upper hand – and took full measure of advantage with it.
To date they have only arrested two suspects and the Black Grievance Industry is furious the police would have the audacity to even go that far.
