'Americans Are Finally Returning To The Workforce'

"It’s happening. The improving job market is drawing Americans back into the labor force.

The U.S. labor force grew by 555,000 people in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. It was the biggest one-month increase in more than a year and, more importantly, was the fifth straight increase, the longest such streak since the recession began more than eight years ago. The labor force participation rate — the share of the adult population that’s either working or actively looking for work — rose two-tenths of a percentage point to 62.9 percent, its highest level in over a year."

This on top of 65 straight months of positive private sector job growth and a 4.9 unemployment rate exposes the lie that the "Obama-conomy' is a failure.
