I just have a couple more questions and it really does relate to that high unemployment rate. But I want to take a look slightly different statistic, percentage of population in the workforce, labor participation rate. Both of these measurements right now in America, I don't have them right off the top of my head, but they're at some pretty low levels compared to even 10 years ago or 15 years ago. Dr. Taylor, can you explain that? There's been a lot of research and actually debate amongst economists as usual on this. (27:52–28:01)
