for each person added to labor force, ten have left

I think that sums it up pretty succinctly

this administration has been a failure on every level it can be. and to think Michelle Obama is claiming that we're in a "huge" recovery... thats so far beyond simple stupidity nobody could fail to see it.

Since January 2009, the labor force has grown by 0.54 percent, or 827,000 people (from 154,236,000 to 155,063,000). Those not in the labor force grew by 10.2 percent during the same period (8,208,000 people), from 80,502,000 to 88,710,000. In other words, for every one person added to the labor force of the United States since January 2009, the size of the U.S. population not in the labor force grew by 10 people.

How does this work? If someone has two or three part-time jobs, are they counted two/three times in the jobs created category?

Because Obama is the food stamp president. People dont need to look for work,,Just apply for food stamps and let the government buy your food
