   720,000 people left the U.S. labor force last month.

   This pushes the labor force participation rate down to 61.5%, its lowest level since 1976 (outside of the pandemic).

   The biggest drop came from prime-age workers, aged 25 to 54.

   These are peak working and earning years.

   That deserves more attention than it's getting.
