ll to 63.3 percent last month. It's the lowest such figure since
May 1979.The falling participation rate tarnished the only apparent good
news in the jobs report the Labor Department released Friday: The unemployment
rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.6 percent in March from
7.7 in February.People without a job who stop looking for one are
no longer counted as unemployed. That's why the U.S. unemployment rate dropped
in March despite weak hiring. If the 496,000 who left the labor
force last month had still been looking for jobs, the unemployment rate
would have risen to 7.9 percent in March."Unemployment dropped for all the
wrong reasons," says Craig Alexander, chief economist with TD Bank Financial
Group. "It dropped because more workers stopped looking for jobs. It signaled
less confidence and optimism that there are jobs out there."The participation
rate peaked at 67.3 percent in 2000, reflecting an influx of women
into the work force. It's been falling steadily ever since.Part of the
drop reflects the baby boom generation's gradual move into retirement. But
such demographics aren't the whole answer.Even Americans of prime working
age 25 to 54 years old are dropping out of
the workforce. Their participation rate fell to 81.1 percent last month,
tied with November for the lowest since December 1984."It's the lack of
job opportunities the lack of demand for workers that is
keeping these workers from working or seeking work," says
BAGHDAD Officials say two explosions in the northern Iraqi city of
Mosul have killed two soldiers and wounded another seven people.A police
officer says five soldiers were among those wounded in a car bomb
Sunday in an industrial area of the city, 360 kilometers (225 miles)
northwest of Baghdad. He says two civilians also were wounded when another
bomb placed under a vehicle exploded.A health official confirmed the casualties.There
was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings.Sunni militants
often attack soldiers, hoping to erode confidence in the Shiite-led government.
