The June jobs report shows the U.S. labor force participation rate at a record low, which contributed to the unemployment rate dropping slightly to 6.1 percent.

Labor force participation rate stays under 63%, lowest since Jimmy Carter in 1978. Tell me more how today's job report is good news.

CNSNews had this piece of information about the labor force participation rate:
At no time during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, did such a small percentage of the civilian non-institutional population either hold a job or at least actively seek one.
Former DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse might not hold that position anymore, but he still spins jobs reports in Obama’s favor like a DNC boss:
The policies Obama implemented over the years Recovery Act, ACA, Auto Rescue are bearing fruit. Imagine if GOP wld work w/him now to do more

Not surprisingly, not everybody was buying Woodhouse’s spin:
Seriously, you guys. Brad Woodhouse is clinically insane. https://t.co/HPQEKvZ7Sx

@RBPundit If I didn’t know better, I’d say @woodhouseb is a parody account. @sistertoldjah
