And if you want to get a little more precise...


Total civilian population over 16 in Jan 2017 was 255 million. Labor participation rate was 62.9%. Unemployment rate was 4.7%. That's 7.5 million unemployed.

Current civilian population over 16 is 260 million. Labor participation rat is 63.3%. Unemployment rate is 3.6%. That's 5.9 million unemployed.

5.9 vs. 7.5 is 21% reduction. So no, not quite 23%. Sue me.
