The number of Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8,332,000 to a record 88,839,000 in President Barack Obama’s first term, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At the same time, the number of retired workers collecting Social Security increased by only 4,234,480.
The increase in Americans opting out of the labor force during Obama’s first term resulted in a decrease in the labor force participation rate from 65.7 percent in January 2009, the month Obama was first inaugurated, to 63.6 percent in December 2012, the latest month reported. Before Obama took office, the labor force participation rate had not been as low as 63.6 percent since 1981, the year President Ronald Reagan took over from President Jimmy Carter.

I am a tireless optimist, but I do feel this could be the start of a new trend of bringing US jobs back to the US.
"With all these factors combined, by 2015 a variety of manufacturing industries, from appliances to tyres, will find it more cost effective to produce goods in the United States, according to a recent report by the Boston Consulting Group.
This could add an estimated two to three million jobs and more than $20bn (£12.4bn) in output to the American economy - a striking reversal from years past."
The words "some" and "could" - sm

can be used both ways.
"Some" companies are going out of business, for instance.
Or, This "could" be the start of a down-ward spiral.
Hopey-changey.

Do You Think Things Are Worse...Aug 04, 2012....since the Supreme Court gave corporations the same voice as individuals in supporting political candidates? I sense that that's made things worse during this campaign.
I think these PACs and Super PACs are creating so much havoc, on both sides, and they're making politics even more confusing and muddled. It's awful when a PAC comes out with advertising that favors one candidate or the other, and people assume that the campaign itself put out the ad, bu ...

20 Ways The Economy Has Gotten Worse Since Barack Obama Became President

Unemployment is higher, the cost of food and gas are skyrocketing, the number of Americans living in poverty has spiked dramatically, the housing market is in nightmarish shape and our national debt has absolutely exploded.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama continues to prance around the countr ...

On that note, I'm gone and hopefully, for good this time. I had hoped this board would change. I had seen a couple down-to-earth discussions from ...

Back in 1999 Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann released the climate change movement's most potent symbol: The "hockey stick," a line graph of global temperature over the last 1,500 years that shows an unmistakable, massive uptick in the twentieth century when humans began to dump large amounts of greenhouse gases into ...

The Worse President EVER!!! Sending Pink SlipsJul 11, 2014http://conservativetribune.com/obama-pink-slip-soldiers/
During a speech Obama delivered at West Point, less than 25% of the cadets rose to their feet when he was introduced to the crowd.
It looks like those cadets, along with every other member of the military has another reason to despise their Commander-in-Chief. Obama sent soldiers serving in Afghanistan their pink slips, saying their “services are no longer needed” by the country.
