Barder,
The distorting impact of participation rates on employment statistics is old news. This, and the fact that employment is a lagging indicator, means that most traders don't pay it much attention.
If you are looking for signals of impending economic collapse that might make investing in gold a good idea, I suggest that you look elsewhere.
Afterthought: I am surprised that the gold bugs don't spend more time looking at data on bank failures in the US:

But maybe it will tell them things they don't want to hear.
