Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month, Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low | ZeroHedge: "Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/03/2012 08:51 -0500: A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million."

If you want the truth about the "Obama Fudge Jobs Report," look at the charts posted at Zero Hedge or here or read this.
