The labor force participation rate — the share of the adult population that’s either working or actively looking for work — rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 62.9 percent, its highest level in over a year."

This on top of 65 straight months of positive private sector job growth and a 4.9 unemployment rate exposes the lie that the "Obama-conomy' is a failure.

As long as over half of all new income keeps going to the top 1% the economy sucks. What good are jobs when you need three of them just to survive?
