Original Note:
The claim that the share of working age Americans w/ jobs is a 20 yr high isn't correct. It was higher before. Civilian labor force participation Jan 07: 66.4 Jul 23: 62.6 https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm Employment–population ratio Dec 06: 63.4 Jul 23: 60.4 https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-population-ratio.htm The claim relies on using only an age subset. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/06/factchecking-bidens-campaign-style-speeches/#:~:text=Workforce%20Participation
