About the job report

The unemployment rate fell to 8.6% because people left the labor force.

When you look at the employment to population ratio, however, the percent of the people working is the same as it was at the bottom of the 2009 recession (click on the graph to enlarge it).

In the 1990s and early 2000s the ratio was close to 64%.
