What's depressing about these pictures? People working in a clean environment, and eating in a cafeteria. How dreadfully soul crushing.

dirtysteve00-"Isn't unemployment down to it`s lowest since the W era?"
Only because of the way they calculate the unemployment rate. They report the U3 numbers. More accurate numbers are the U6, which reflects a greater than 14% unemployment rate.
A VERY accurate number is the Labor Participation Rate: is the ratio between the labor force and national population over the age of 16.
The current Labor Participation Rate (63.6%) is at the lowest it`s been since Carter, and it is NOT improving.
