Bureau of Labor Statistics Report (U.S.D.L.-13-1102, Jun. 7, 2013)

(May 2013, jobs report; unemployment rate increased to 7.6 percent; economy added only 175,000 jobs during May, well below level needed to restore economy to pre-recession unemployment rate; unemployment-to-population ration remained at 58.6%; the only reason unemployment has declined over the past two years is because many persons have ceased looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed – government “stimulus” policies ineffective at reducing unemployment; labor force participation rate was 63.4% for May, the lowest rate since May of 1979 other than for March and April of 2013; labor force participation among men is at all-time low with only 72.7 percent of men working or looking for work; unemployment rate is 52 percent higher than what Administration promised it would be in May of 2013 if 2009 "stimulus" bill passed, and 43 percent higher than what Administration promised it would be in May of 2013 if 2009 "stimulus" bill not passed; if labor force participation rate would have remained at the rate it was at when President Bush left office and labor force would not have shrunk, unemployment rate would be over 11 percent).
