Food Stamps Increases as Labor Force Decreases

Interesting chart here showing how as the food stamps have been increasing the labor participating labor force rate has been decreasing. The unemployment percentage is somewhat bogus since people keep leaving the work force to collect benefits which means they are not counted. The labor participation labor force rate is a better measure because it looks at how many people are actually working. Seems from this chart that incentives do actually matter.
