Psst, the economy isn’t as bad as many think

2. I think you should look at the numbers my friend.

As little as a year ago, there were 89.6 million people not in the labor force according to the BLS. This year, the number is up to 91.7 million, which granted is down from the 92 million from last month.

Again, these are the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So we have more people not in the labor force than just a year ago, but things aren't as bad as think they are? That's like saying that the patient is dying, but we can probably save the leg, where would you like it sent?
