Job vacancies are still the norm. While many have been hopeful of an American economy returning to normal as soon as humanly possible, the past ten months of the Biden regime has been cited by many as the main fundamental reason for this hope being dashed. While the latest jobs data gave markets hope by posting a very respectable headline figure, that figure apparently hides some concerning details with regards to the true health of the American economy and society.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics itself, the American economy showed signs of strength last month when it hired an extra half a million people or so. However, the labor force participation rate, which tracks the percentage of the working-age population that is actively looking for work or is currently working, was a paltry 61.6 percent for the month of October. According to The Epoch Times , the labor force participation rate has tracked a fairly narrow band between 61.4 and 61.7 percent since June of last year, after tumbling from 63.3 percent in February of 2020, the last full month before lockdown measures were introduced.
The situation is far worse for men , the traditional breadwinners of the family. Currently, at 67.6 percent, the male labor force participation rate was already hovering at record lows (69.2 percent in February 2020) in the years prior to the pandemic, having fallen from a postwar norm of over 85 percent.
In addition to what Charles Murray identified in his book “Coming Apart” , the current failure of the economy to bring labor force participation back up to at least what it was pre-pandemic has yet to be definitively ascertained, but there appear to be several possible explanations.
One possible explanation that some have posited is the stress of the pandemic causing many on the verge of retirement to bring their exit plans forward several years. Even this explanation entails a variety of motivations, but this is considered by many to be a significant albeit insufficient explanation to the labor force woes the economy is fated to endure in the coming months and years.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
