A number used to determine the unemployment rate.

That is if people just give up looking for a job and indicate such to the survey person, the total number of people in the labor force goes down, and if all else remains the same, the unemployment voila’ goes down, and Brandon looks good without doing anything.

Come on TR!

A large portion of our community has found a niche living on welfare. Until working creates a better life than welfare, people are not going to work.

Less people working, GDP is steadily down, we have the highest tax rate in the state, and the highest crime rate. Are we headed the Detroit route?

That leaves just 10,888 people that we need to help find a Job.
