Current U-6 Unemployment Rate is 11.3%

Not many do that I've seen. It's BETTER than it was, but U-6 is what it is, and that's still a very high number. Even U-3 doesn't indicate anything other than a poor overall jobs market that is slowly getting better. No need to question the numbers to come to those conclusions.

Interesting to note that the participation rate tends to uptick in recession (stay at home moms back to work; less retirements)... again, indicating that the NIWF number growing actually has a healthy aspect to it.

Sorry, Nick, but your observations when you look out your window are NOT empirical data.

You're so full of hot air I'm shocked you don't float away into the stratosphere.

Yours was incomplete. Part time for economic reasons also includes those who have a full time job, but whose hours were cut.

It wasn't incomplete. I said economic reasons, and cut hours are included in that...you even admitted so yourself.

But you only defined economic reasons as not finding full time work...you didn't mention cut hours, so you were incomplete.

There isn't anything of substance to dispute. No evidence has been offered of any specific liberal agenda item slowing the recovery of our economy.
