Sadly the interns they have posing as reporters at the LA Times (and the OCR, I might add) are unable to comprehend the real story. Specifically: “….The report also showed that the state’s labor force shrunk by almost 53,000 in July….”

That would have sent off flashing red warning lights to any competent business reporter, but the Times’ stenographers foolishly rate it as a mere “also” throw-away.

Are you kidding me? For every person that found a job, TWO people just said the hell with it and threw in the towel! That’s SERIOUS. And hardly the mark of a “resilient” labor market.

Doesn’t The Times have editors who review what these cub reporters write?
