    This is the key term and I am glad he highlighted it.

    [[[Then will come the second-take stories that will notice the shrinking labor force, which dropped by nearly 700,000 from November. Had it stayed stable from last month, the jobless rate would have been 10.4 percent. Had it stayed stable since August, the jobless rate would be 11 percent! ]]]

  2. From the Obamacrat playbook:
