Irrelevant. These are the same Unemployment numbers that have always been in use. Suddenly, when Obama became POTUS, and the stench of what W had done, was done, and the numbers start to improve, then all kinds of new numbers had to be thrown in to try to "explain" why the numbers were better. THe numnbers are the numbers.
To answer your question though, the number of people who left the job pool increased substantially because the baby boomer generation was and is retiring.
Please name 2 policies President Bush put into place that would enable someone to say he "caused damage"
It would also be fun to watch you try and articulate a single policy Obama put into place that led to a decrease in the unemployment rate. But everyone reading knows you're not capable of any such thing.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
Donald TrumpClinton: EgyptAir plane crash appears to be 'act of terrorism'Senior Trump aide assures conservatives on court picksClinton: Trump not qualified to be presidentMORE has increased his lead over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
Hillary Rodham ClintonClinton: EgyptAir plane crash appears to be 'act of terrorism'Warren: Let on-demand workers organizeSanders superdelegate: Nevada convention was unfairMORE, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Thursday.
Trump now leads Clinton by 5 percentage points, 42 to 37 percent. The poll also found that 13 percent of respondents prefer another candidate and 7 percent were undecided.
ADVERTISEMENT
The new poll differs somewhat from recent polling, which shows Clinton holding a slim lead. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Clinton has a 3.9-point lead over Trump, 46.2 to 42.3 percent. But Trump led a Fox News national poll released Wednesday by 3 points.
A Rasmussen poll released at the beginning of the month showed Trump leading Clinton by 2 points.
In the new poll, Trump has 76 percent support among Republicans, while Clinton has 72 percent among Democrats. The poll also finds that 13 percent of Democrats prefer Trump, and 9 percent of Republicans prefer Clinton.
Among independent voters, Trump has an advantage over Clinton, 41 to 28 percent. But nearly one-third of voters not affiliated with either major party say they will choose another candidate or are undecided.
Trump leads Clinton among men by 22 points, while Clinton leads Trump among women by 11 points.

LAS VEGAS ***************
<!--.vcard-->The statue resembling a naked Donald Trump that appeared in downtown Las Vegas earlier this week was vandalized overnight.
The statue, placed in the John E. Carson parking lot on South Sixth Street near Carson Avenue, was broken off of the platform it was mounted on. It was one of eight naked Trump statues displayed around the country.
The platform still has the feet attached, but the body resembling the Republican presidential nominee was on the ground covered in graffiti Friday morning, the first day of the Life Is Beautiful festival.
The statue was not part of the festival.
Its creator, Las Vegas artist Joshua Monroe, expected it to stay in place throughout the weekend’s music festival, he said Wednesday.
Monroe woke up to a text message Friday morning telling him that his artwork had been destroyed.
“I’m heartbroken,” he said Friday.
Monroe is not going to file charges since the vandalism wasn’t caught on camera and there were no witnesses, he said.
“Vandals can destroy them all they want but they’ll still be there,” Monroe said. “The message is to stay strong.”
Monroe is frustrated that the vandals, who he referred to as “scumbags,” couldn’t express their frustration intellectually instead.
Downtown resident Mike Flowers likes to walk around during the festival to take pictures of the art, which is what he was doing Thursday night when he saw people taunting the statue.
“I knew something was going to happen,” Flowers said after seeing the vandalism Friday.
The vandalized statue drew a small crowd of about eight people Friday morning before Life Is Beautiful security took it away on a golf cart, Flowers said. Life Is Beautiful staff is using the parking lot throughout the weekend for bicycle parking, as agreed upon with the Downtown Project, who owns the lot.
“We don’t have anything to do with what happens to the lot during that time,” said Downtown Project spokeswoman Maria Phelan.
The statue was placed in the parking lot legally because of a loophole in the law, Monroe said.
“A magician never reveals his tricks,” he said when asked what that loophole is.
Naked Trump, formally named “The Emperor Has No Balls” by anarchist artist collective INDECLINE, took the world by storm on Aug. 18, when five statues were placed in public areas of Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and New York.
Statues also appeared in Miami and New Jersey. The Miami statue was stolen from the Wynwood arts district on Thursday and the one in New Jersey disappeared earlier this week, according to The Associated Press.

<!--.field-->Trump statue taken from Miami arts district
MIAMI — Police in South Florida say they have a "person of interest" in the theft of a naked Donald Trump statue.
Miami police said on the department's official Twitter account that the statue of the Republican presidential nominee was taken from the Wynwood arts district on Thursday.
WSVN-TV reports security guards in Wynwood told police they saw a group of men loading the statue into a pickup truck. A witness told investigators he took a picture of the truck as it left the neighborhood. Police ran the license plate and are now looking for the registered owner of the truck as a "person of interest."
A similar statue disappeared this week in New Jersey.
