WEB Notes: There are only 320 million men, woman and children in the United States. Think about what than means folks. If every soul was working we would have a 30% plus unemployment rate, obviously we have retired folks, but children do not work either. The numbers we receive from the government are nothing but lies.  

(ZeroHedge) – Curious why despite the huge miss in payrolls the unemployment rate tumbled from 7.0% to 6.7%? The reason is because in December the civilian labor force did what it usually does in the New Normal: it dropped from 155.3 million to 154.9 million, which means the labor participation rate just dropped to a fresh 35 year low, hitting levels not seen since 1978, at 62.8% down from 63.0%.   Continue reading “People Not In Labor Force Soar To Record 91.8 Million; Participation Rate Plunges To 1978 Levels”

We have planting of evidence, excessive force, police brutality, filing of false reports and changing reports to fit their lies.   Continue reading “Help Me to Clean Up Riverside County, California”
