The Participation rate went from 62.4 to 62.5 in November. The stock market celebrated. However, when you look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics below, you see that it is worse than all prior Novembers. Novembers are always better than October because of the hiring for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Can you trust the market makers??? ]
