What do you mean two different measurements? Both are percentage of the population.
Not that much variance. It is roughly the same. The left Y axis has a range of 3.5 percentage points and the right Y axis has a range of 4.2 percentage points.
Your math sucks. The intervals on the left Y axis is .5 percentage points and the interval on the right is .6 percentage points Not really an issue.
You do realize that since they're both percentages of the same thing, it doesn't matter that one is from 31.5% to 35% and the other is 62.4 to 66.2? The difference is minimal.
I made it and I just created it so you could see both together. And they both are going in opposite directions...Not in the Labor Force does not want a job went up 2.7 percentage points and the labor force participation rate went down 2.9 percentage points. Again, they're both percentage of the population. So how does the chart not accurately reflect the 2.7% increase in percent that doesn't want a job and the 2.9% drop in the labor force percent?
How many times have you rejected my links to BLS because it's biased? Be consistent. And I did link to the BLS site and gave you the series report numbers.
Sort of. Though I was using the seasonally adjusted data.
For the third time posting the link and codes: Go to BLS Series Report : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Put in the series report numbers I gave you:
Population LNS10000000
Not in Labor Force LNS15000000
Labor force participation rate LNS11300000
Not in labor force wants job now LNS15026639
To get those who are not in the labor force and don't want a job, subtract "wants a job now" from the total labor force.
I assume you know how to divide that result from the population to get the percentage.
That's why I used the FRED site. Easier, and it's the same data.
How many times do I have to tell you, I am not doing the big multi-quote post...I have a life, you know.
Your graph (IMO) sucked...you don't think so...guess how much I care?
I will ask you one more time, which chart are you referring to (with a link)?
I am not hunting down the numbers..provide the links or forget it.
Good day.
