What matters is the labor force participation rate, which dropped precipitously throughout most of Obummer's tenure.

Neither are meaningless, and the labor force participation rate is not the damnation of Obama policies you claim it to be. But feel free to cherry pick, it's what Obama critics do.

Speaking of cherry picking, it sure took a lot of spin in that article to downplay the collapse of the job market under Obummer. Just as one example, they discounted everyone over 65, but a lot of those people still wanted to work but were unable to find jobs. Heck, even Social Security now sets the retirement age at 67.5 IIRC, and many people work well into their 70s (or would have if they could).
