The mainstream media could hardly hold back their glee with the January jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed our unemployment rate dropping to 8.3%. Hold the Dom Perignon! The numbers are not what they seem. In a report worthy of Soviet Central Planning, a record 1.2 million people “disappeared" from the labor force last month. The labor participation rate is now down to a fresh thirty year low. When looking at the internal numbers even closer, it actually gets worse. Do any of the candidates have the right stuff on job creation?
