Not In Labor Force Jumps 446K In November, Wage Growth Declines

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has released their ‘jobs report’ for November.
The good news? The unemployment rate declined to 4.6%.
The bad news? An additional 446,000 people are no longer in the labor force. To give you a sense of proportion, that is like the entire population of Fresno, California switching to Not In Labor Force. There are now 95.1 million folks NOT in the labor force.
