The number EleBlog likes to look at is the U-6 employment figure — on page 27, table A-15. It’s more inclusive than the “headline” number, even though it is subject to the same influences as all of the other BLS data (i.e., it’s probably wrong).
For April 2014, the U-6 was 12.3% (as seasonally adjusted)
It was 12.7% in January 2014 — and 13.9% in April 2013.
It’s probably reasonable to think that this number indicates the US economy has provided more jobs in the past year. However, the decrease from 13.9% to 12.3% might be questioned.
And the idea that the economy did not grow (or declined), as measured by the GDP, in Q1 . . . and yet the U-6 declined by 0.4 percentage points — is hard to reconcile.
