Tell that to a business owner. 2% is a lot when talking about 100 million employees and a 4% decline compared to 20 years ago. There are many more companies in the US today compared to 20 years ago. Yes, it is a crisis and the govt. either does not care or has no clue how to solve the situation.

You posted the workforce particpation data. Why don't you break down the data that you provided. The vast majority of the difference between now and 2019 is woman with kids who have not gone back and over 55 men. It's not governments job to make those demographics go back to work if they don't want to. The demographic you all love to bag on is within .3% of the high in the last dozen years. African Americans.

People who can afford not to work shouldn't have to if they don't want to, that is up to them. People who get govt. benefits and either are not working or working just one job and getting govt. benefits take those benefits away. Work 2 jobs if they have to or a get a better job just quit depending on the taxpayers to survive, hunger is a good motivation to work.

So do you think that over 55 men and woman with children who worked pre pandemic and never went back are sucking all the welfare? I thought it was lazy blacks that are doing that?
[TD]Report: 7.2 Million Prime Working Age Men Not Working[/TD]
[TD]CBS recently spotlighted the more than 770,000 U.S. job openings in manufacturing, while examining the factors behind roughly 7.2 million American men of prime working age (between 25 and 54 years old) not working or looking for work. Watch the video.
According to the report, economists attribute the lower workforce participation rate to a skills mismatch, applicants with criminal histories, and ongoing government "safety nets."
Check out this graph comparing labor force participation rates of various age groups since the start of COVID-19. At the end of 2022, the rate for no age group had fully recovered to February 2020 levels, although the 25-54 group was closest. 2/14/2023[/TD]

Hey, Uncle Sam: Stop paying people for not working - Washington Examiner
A policy question these days that has befuddled federal lawmakers is why so many millions of people have not returned to the workplace in the post-COVID-19 era. The labor force participation rate among employable adults is near a record low today. There are at least 2 million to 4 million...

Debt limit bill in hand, McCarthy eyes vote next week - Roll Call
House Republicans unveiled legislation Wednesday to pair spending cuts and energy and regulatory policies with a debt limit increase.
At least they want to do something about the free handouts and help with filling the 11 million open jobs. Of course, the demsocialists will work to kill it.

Over 10 million open jobs available, and the leftists continue to go all in on socialism.
Enemies of the United States, foreign and domestic, started it with the release of the corona virus. And domestic enemies have continued to perpetuate it by going full-on socialist. We now have an entire generation of spoiled losers sitting on their couch while the rest of us are working to just keep the country afloat a little longer.

A result of letting millions upon millions illegally enter the USA since Gravybrain sounded the all-clear signal to come on in.
If it were, are you saying their parents cannot get a job to provide for them, with 11 million jobs available?

To be fair, They are all a shade of red on that map.
The interesting thing though is that when it comes to something like SNAP, Democrats aren't making it about Blue or Red. It's just people. Conservatives make assumptions that it's lazy Democrats, but it's not the case and Conservative areas and people benefit as much or more than Liberals.
