DEMOGRAPHICS • LABOR FORCE
Thursday’s jobs report had a headline you probably saw — 57,000 new jobs, way below expectations. But the real story was underneath. The labor force participation rate dropped to 61.5%, the lowest since 1976 outside the pandemic — meaning nearly 4 in 10 Americans 16 and older aren’t even in the labor force. This wasn’t a slow fade… 720,000 people left the labor force in a single month. Not unemployed — they just stopped looking.
The last time participation was this low, it was 1976 — and back then, the reason was that millions of women hadn’t entered the workforce yet.

My accountant is going to kill me
She specifically told me to stop giving away my "Simple Options Trading For Beginners" book for free.
"Bill, you're leaving money on the table," she said. "That book sells for $29.97 on your website."
She's right. But here's what she doesn't understand...
Every trader I help avoid the mistakes I made is one less person who'll quit trading in frustration like I almost did decades ago.
So against her advice, I'm sending you this email.
Right now, you can grab a copy of the same book selling for $29.97 on our website... completely free.
It reveals the ONE options technique that took me 11 years to discover (and saves you from wasting time on the other 47 strategies that don't work).
Inside, you'll find out:
Why "more strategies" actually means "more losses"
The 10-minute nightly routine that replaced my 8-hour trading days
The specific market setup I look for (it's almost embarrassingly simple)
Good Trading,
Bill Poulos
P.S. You can buy this book right now for $29.97, or you can grab your free copy here.
