        @WSJ Neat new way to say "they've stopped looking" ... well done. Been there, have the ticket stub... Lots of side work, no aid here.

        @WSJ @APPropst Will the decreasing number of people in the labor force hurt U.S. economy significantly?

        @WSJ I guess I'm just wondering how it's ever an option to just give up on something as important as a job.I just don't understand giving up

        @WSJ I wonder why??? The scary part is unemployment remains the same, if not worse. Have some people just given up? Show that stat.

        @WSJ probably because the other 1.08 stopped looking. That would be accurate from the stat reports of people who have stopped looking

        @WSJ The drop in the workforce can account for that.
