LOL no it isn't. It's 4.9%. The Obama economy has created over 14 million jobs. That's 4x more than the last 2 Republican Presidents combined.
What are you counting as working age? 80 years old?
This is literally a graph of how many people turned 18 and need beer/college money.

This is a graph of the US labor force growing.

No. Unemployment rate has fallen dramatically since then.

>>67708183

Are you talking about discouraged workers? That would be the U4 rate. It's 5.3%. See.
