Clue to the Low Uneployment Rate? 12% of men in prime work years not working or looking... - 0 views

  •  
    Despite their great numbers, many of the men not working are missing from the nation's best- known statistic on unemployment.

That's a recipe for faster increases in unit labor costs, which correlate with inflation outside of energy and food.
