You are forgetting that people also leave the workforce.

I'm not going to go mine the data to see how many leave, but it is a factor in the job market.

Also, some people create their own jobs, its called entrepreneurship.  It is a fairly small amount, but it does reduce the number of people entering the workforce.

The unemployment rate has been steady all year, dipping only .1%.   In terms of raw numbers there are a little over 400,000 less unemployed people as compared to a year ago, so it is dropping.

LBJ a liberal? LOL I'm sure even he is rolling in his grave at that one. He was one of the biggest racists in 60s politics.

This is one of the things we have to accept, in 40+ years the definition of liberal and conservative have moved around a bit.
