It won't. Don't listen to them.

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month, Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/03/2012 08:51 -0500
BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics Unemployment Withholding taxes A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation. As for the quality of jobs, as withholding taxes roll over Year over year, it can only mean that the US is replacing high paying FIRE jobs with low paying construction and manufacturing. So much for the improvement.
Chart below shows it all - that jump is not a fat finger!

And Labor Force Participation:

This is the largest absolute jump in 'Persons Not In Labor Force' on record...and biggest percentage jump in 30 years.

Perhaps it would be best if you discuss premature ejaculation with your urologist instead of here.

you wouldn't know what capitalism is if it bit you on the #######.

The truly amazing thing is that Stevens definition of "trolling" matches exactly what he wants removed. Amazing. Should make it easy for the moderators...make Steven happy and all is well.

christ. glad im not in PA.

I thought everything was on topic.

I'm confused about what can be posted anymore. Going off-topic on threads like this used to be part of the fun. No more fun, I guess.

Stevie and I are good. He's taking me to Barney Frank's wedding.

From this Moderators perspective, it would be helpful to have verifiable evidence to support the assertions being made here. Frankly, the thread reports are getting tiresome.....

I don't care about Israel. I want our troops brought back home from worldwide deployments. It is none of our business there. Israel wants perpetual war then let them have it.

About sums it up:
“Companies once felt an obligation to support American workers, even when it wasn’t the best financial choice,” said Betsey Stevenson, the chief economist at the Labor Department until last September. “That’s disappeared. Profits and efficiency have trumped generosity.”

If you read the article it does not sound like a Tax reduction would have any impact. Perhaps Corporations would be influenced by some sort of local headcount incentive. Hire local or else face some kind of opportunity cost

"Double the fun" and/or "when two are better than one".

stfu Steven.
Seriously, no one cares about your tax the ** out of everyone answers.

it was a site solely devoted to maligning islam - it therefore has no place on this board. the same would apply to a site solely devoted to maligning israel.

First of all, you need to stop calling us Pals. I'm a Palestinian, WoM's husband is Palestinian. We are not pals.
Second, it's obvious to us, who have been at it longer, that you are emoting rather than posting facts. You have no real knowledge of the sites you use, you don't know the history of Israel's founding, you engage in generalizations of entire groups of people based on the acts of a few. You've even stooped so low as to call those who disagree with you "terrorists" and "rock throwers". Name calling is the highest order of retort you seem to have.
I'm an Israeli, I don't get upset when people criticize Israel anymore than the American part of me gets upset when someone criticizes America. Both are my right.
If you believe that Israel needs defending, then defend it from an objective position, not just with emotional appeals. Whining about how there are "hateful" people who have the gall to disagree with you gets no sympathy here.
I could post hateful stuff from racist, influential Jews, anti-Muslim sermons by bigoted "Christian" pastors, or twisted Stormfront racists here all day; there's plenty of that stuff on the net to see. But, we're talking politics and political processes here, not the rantings of individuals who happened to be on YouTube.
So, post away, expect that your posts will be challenged and grow a thicker skin to deal with it.

You need to take a chill pill. You are definitely overreacting.

i'm going to go out on a huge limb by presuming to speak for others here as well as myself when i say that no one here cares about you or your limp drivel enough to come close to hating you.

The biggest threat to Israel is its own government.

Hahaha!!
Jewish gunman was no terrorist, Israel rules

Four Arab Israelis shot dead by a soldier opposed to the closure of the Gaza Strip settlements are not victims of "terror" because their killer was Jewish, Israel's defence ministry has ruled, and so their families are not entitled to the usual compensation for life.
The ministry concluded that the law only recognises terrorism as committed by "organisations hostile to Israel" even though the prime minister, Ariel Sharon, described the killings by Private Eden Nathan Zaada, 19, as "a despicable act by a bloodthirsty terrorist."
He shot dead four people on a bus in the Arab Israeli town of Shfaram on August 4 and was then lynched by a mob.
Arab Israeli leaders have condemned the decision. Mohammed Barakeh, an Arab member of the Israeli parliament who lives in Shfaram, said: "The decision raises a strong scent of racism, which distinguishes between a Jewish terrorist and an Arab terrorist."
The defence ministry proposes to pay the families of the Shfaram victims an undisclosed lump sum instead of a lifelong monthly amount.
But Mr Barakeh says that denies the dead their recognition as victims of terrorism. He noted that Arabs who had committed individual attacks but were not members of armed organisations had still been branded by the Israeli government as terrorists.
Mr Barakeh has proposed an amendment to the law, recognising anyone harmed by "hostile activities by a terrorist organisation" as a victim of terror and therefore entitled to full compensation.
There was pressure to amend the law in 1990 after a 21-year-old Israeli soldier, Ami Popper, shot dead seven Palestinian workers. But it was not approved by parliament.
Another Israeli who killed Arabs in the run-up to the Gaza pullout was charged with murder yesterday. Asher Weisgan appeared in court in Jerusalem after he was declared mentally fit to stand trial for shooting dead four Palestinians, including two of his own employees, and wounding a fifth near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Shiloh.
