ProGrowthLiberal (2015): Stephen Moore Tries to Claim There Is a "Debate" About North Carolina Employment Statistics: "Stephen Moore has another silly parade of disinformation.... Moore wants to claim employment has soared... says there was a 'debate' about how many people dropped out of the workforce. Paul Krugman addressed this last year:

Employment in North Carolina hasn���t actually shown any upward bump. Here���s employment in NC and the nation as a whole.... There has been a sharp drop in the NC labor force, probably in large part because workers who could no longer get unemployment benefits���which require that you search actively for work���gave up on what they knew was a hopeless quest. The point is that to the extent that there has been a distinctive drop in North Carolina���s measured unemployment rate, it has to do with reduced job search rather than increased employment....

And Moore wants to say there was a debate?.... I guess the Wall Street Journal will publish even the dumbest of dishonesty....
