A Sign Labor Participants Will Return

        9:30 EDT - CRT Capital's Ian Lyngen has an interesting observation about how the labor-force participation rate declined last month. Participation among Americans over 55 actually increased, suggesting April's fall was not retirement-related as participation in all the other age groups declined. That is likely a signal many are going back to school or just discouraged about current prospects--reasons that suggest an eventual return to job hunting. (cynthia.lin@wsj.com; @cynthialin_dj)
