Workforce Participation rate vs.
          the unemployment rate
“If the Republican Party cannot win in this environment, it has to get out of
politics and find another business,” declared George Will on ABC’s “This
Week With George Stephanopoulos” Sunday.

Will was describing how the 8.1 percent unemployment rate belies the large
numbers of Americans who have given up looking for work.
“If the work force participation rate today were what it was in June 2009,
when the recovery began, we would have an unemployment rate of 11.2
percent,” said Will.

“If you add in the involuntarily unemployed, you’re approaching 19 percent,
which is why I should think, from here on in, on the basis of these numbers,
the Romney campaign’s slogan should be the title of Paul Krugman’s book,
which is ’End This Depression Now,’ because these are depression-level
numbers.”
Medicaid & Chip nearly 60M people
2010 Median incomes $45K
