What about those who gave up?
So, 114,000 job growth reported. How about reporting the number of people who quit looking for work? There are millions of people who just dropped out, and this is the only reason that the unemployment number went down.
Instead of all in the media celebrating this terrible number of 7.8 percent you should be telling about the millions who are discouraged and just quit looking. This is the worst administration since Jimmy Carter.
