And that\u0027s a good outcome,\u0022 said Economics Professor Thomas Danny Boston to Tony Harris on CNN Newsroom. Boston continued, \u0022when you drop out of the labor force, if you have not looked for a job within four weeks, you\u0027re not counted in the unemployment numbers. So when people come back into the labor market, even though they\u0027re searching for a job, now they\u0027re counted. And that often tends to push that unemployment rate up a bit. And so although it seems bad on the surface, underneath it\u0027s good, because people are more optimistic about their prospects.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27418","created_gmt":"2010-09-08 14:08:46","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:07:23","author":"Lauren Langley","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-09-03T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-09-03T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.econ.gatech.edu\/people\/faculty\/boston","title":"Danny Boston"},{"url":"http:\/\/newsroom.blogs.cnn.com\/","title":"CNN Newsroom"}],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"496","name":"CNN"},{"id":"3942","name":"danny boston"},{"id":"602","name":"economics"},{"id":"10600","name":"job growth"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERebecca Keane\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIvan Allen College of Liberal Arts\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=rkeane3\u0022\u003EContact Rebecca Keane\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-1720\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["rebecca.keane@iac.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
