Where I live, in a upper middle class suburb in the northern part of DFW, the unemployment rate is extremely low (my guess is 1%). When I go to the grocery store I get asked by the checkout clerk if I have a wife or teenagers that would like a job, $10 and up no experience needed. CVS across the street is starting at $12.

Both the grocery store and McDonalds have recently added self service kiosks. Cannot find enough to hire, have to make the customer do the work.

Most of the pizza places and the like have you order at the counter. No wait staff. Cannot find them.

There are people of work age in the suburb who are not interested in working. You would find it almost impossible to draw them into the workforce. Stay at home moms, early retirees who are financially set, full time students, teenagers who do not need to work as their parents pay for everything (that is the subject of a whole different rant).

Just a little perspective on Labor Force Participation rate.
