Bush's Fault?
From Ace:
If the labor force participation rate, which measures the size of the workforce (including those looking for work) against the work-aged population, had remained constant with where it was on the day Obama was inaugurated, the U-3 rate would be 10.9%.
In other words, the only reason the rate is as low as 8.2% is that an extraordinary number of people have given up looking for work altogether.
