"A far more disturbing number (in Table A-1 of today’s BLS release) shows that 'persons not in the labor force' increased by about 840,000 between November and December, from 83,022 to 83,865. That’s seasonally-adjusted; unadjusted, the number is closer to a million. Correspondingly, the total size of the civilian labor force fell from 153,720 to 153,059 between November and December."
