"The proportion of the working age population that is employed — which some economists consider a bellwether of how the economy is performing — rose to 59.4 percent. It is the highest point since the recovery began six years ago."
In summation:
That's now 63 consecutive months of job growth during which we've added 12.6 million jobs. We've added 5.6 million jobs in the last two years and 3.1 million in the last year, indicating that the pace of job growth is increasing.
Somehow, the news brings to mind a prediction from that noted economics expert Rush Limbaugh back in September 2012:
"We're doomed. If Obama's re-elected, it will happen. There's no if about this. And it's gonna be ugly. It's gonna be gut-wrenching, but it will happen. The country's economy is going to collapse if Obama is re-elected. I don't know how long: a year and a half, two years, three years."
“I know mathematics, and I know economics. I know history," Limbaugh said at the time. "I know socialism, statism, Marxism, I know where it goes," he said. "I know what happens at the end of it.”
