You do realize that that is a manipulated number that chooses to factor out people who aren't working, but could?
"And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force — what's called the participation rate — fell to 63.3 percent last month. It's the lowest such figure since May 1979."
Get used to an economy where there are not enough paid jobs for everyone who wants one. It's a game of musical chairs and sometimes government rearranges the chairs and stops the music.
Well here we have free meals at the schools year round because so many getting food stamps sell them and don't use them to feed their children.
Child neglect should be a crime. Parents should be required to provide food for their children.
A better way would be to do what is done here, keep the school cafeterias open year round for children 18 and under. That way the kids would get food, the parent can't sell food stamps for drug and alcohol money, the costs would go way down.
We're already allowing for double and triple dipping -- the kids win all kinds of food stamps for the parent but the parents still aren't using them to feed the kids, so they added in WIC and at least 2 free meals at the public schools -- year round.

Worst poverty in over 50 years.
Worst Employment in 34 years.
And bogus Articles where if a household has 2 able bodied adults, but only one has a part time job while the other sits at home and collect benefits - it counts as a "working household" so the sheep accept the growing numbers on assistance - every month breaks the record for people on food stamps.
Interestingly enough the vast majority of new jobs have been with temporary employment agencies.
That's because companies can avoid paying benefits that way.
