Riddle me This (Unemployment)

The USA lost jobs this week, but the unemployment rate WENT DOWN?

How does that make any sense?

Because lot's of people have been out of work for so long, that they have given up AND they are no longer receiving unemployment benefits.  No spirit and no financial resources.  Gov Speak says that's bullish.
