Fox Reports That 98,000,000 Americans Out Of Work

Gipper, only five to seven million should be working.

The rest don't have to for a variety of reasons.

Good grief, grow up.

I know you come here new every day, but now I am wondering if you have lost your mind.
 
Anyone citing this shit pretending it means something is literally retarded. You morons do know this number includes infants, kids in school, college students, mothers not working to raise kids, disabled people, veterans, and most of all, PEOPLE RETIRED.
You just proved you are the moron. The stat includes all those age 16 and up. Too funny...
Which overwhelmingly includes teens, college students, mothers not working, the sick and lame and crazy, the scorse of millions of retirees, and those who prefer not to work and don't have to. Out of the closer to 95 million not working, we are talking about six or seven million. Still too much but a much more honest figure than Gipper gives.
I did not give a figure dumb ass.

It is clear that we have a large segment of the population not working. It is as low as it was in the mid-70s. I know this means little to someone like you, who blows BO in your dreams every night.

Could an Obama-Ryan Tax Plan Fix America’s Labor-Force Woes?
That is very important information for those who worry that more 16 year olds, stay at home moms and retirees are not working

The rest of us just look at U3 unemployment

Maybe the people who don't use the U3 believe that moms need to be working 40 hours a week along with 16 year olds and retirees..
 
We need to do a better job at getting 16 year olds, housewives and old folks back in the workforce

Why some people continue to lie when the truth of the matter is so obvious is enigmatic. I know why the criminal element does, but why do the crazy right wingers do so over and over?


How so?

- 100 Million Americans Not Working!

Over the last year, only 1.3 million Americans of working age have entered the workforce, even as the population of this same demographic increased by more than 2.8 million. Just over 1 million members of this group found jobs. That's right -- of the new additions to the working age population, less than four in 10 found jobs.

Today the labor force participation rate for the 16 to 24 age group is 55.1 percent, down from 60.8 percent a decade ago and more than 66 percent back in the late 1990s. We're headed toward becoming Greece, where half the young people don't work.





Minimum wage increases are pricing the young out of the workforce. Welfare programs are effectively paying people not to work. Too many Americans have high school and even college degrees that are next to worthless to employers.
So only 55% of 16-24 yr olds are in the workforce?

Where are the rest of them? In school?

Lazy little bastards


Ever read about the teenage unemployment rate? II still say we should have a two tier minimum wage rate like they have in Canada, but for some reason the liberals in this country don't want to follow their fellow progressives.
But we do have a two tier rate. The Youth Minimum Wage is $4.25 an hour for people under age 20 for their first 90 days at a company. And there are other minimum wage exceptions for full time students, student-learners, etc.

Link before someone starts bitching: elaws - employment laws assistance for workers and small businesses


I never heard of this one?

How come it's not on that poster no one reads at work? I wonder why no one uses it....

Interesting info.....
 
- 100 Million Americans Not Working!
Geeezzz, these lying bastards exaggerate this meaningless number every time they bring it up, proving even they know it a worthless number and must be exaggerated to have any impact on the gullible SUCKERS!


No what is funny as hell you Obama boot lickers defend it and then forget the left wing talking points....

That with Obama care more people don't have to work Lmao.......
 
bear, no one is anyone's boot licker here.

Good Americans don't put up with lying OPs is the point.

Don't forget the disabled, to the Right if they are "not working but they are eating" they are no different than the "useless eaters" their fellow German Right-wingers put to death.

RUSH: And I know that 88 million Americans are not working but they're eating, and it's a statistic that worries me.
It's quite telling that 88 million are not working but they're eating.
 
Take away stay at home moms, 16-24 year olds, the disabled and retirees from labor force participation and what do you get?

4.9 % unemployment rate

Oh brother...you never fail to post ignorance. Partisans...they are NUTS!!!

The numbers don't lie

Only those who want to see stay at home moms, the disabled, teens and the elderly back in the workforce care about labor participation rate

The U-6 is much more accurate. Only dunces don't know this...like you.

Then why do you keep pushing a meaningless labor participation rate?
 
Between 2000 and 2010, the number of people age 65 to 84 in the U.S. grew by 3.3 million. While 13 percent of Americans are currently age 65 or older, that proportion will jump to 18 percent by 2030. The current 40 million senior citizens will balloon to 89 million by 2050.

So, 98 million are not in the workforce today and Republicans whine

What is going to happen when it balloons to 147 million by 2015?
 
Put those old people out there working, gosh darn it.

Get those kids into the factories.

Much more accurate at what? The two measures don't measure the same thing. You can't compare them as they're answering completely different questions.

The U-3 tells us how much available labor is not being used.
The U-6 tells us how much available and potentially available labor is not being used to its fullest capacity.
So which one you use entirely depends on what you want to know.

Oh, and statistically speaking, the U-6 is much less accurate because marginally attached and part time for economic reasons have larger sample error (because they are small components) and non-sample error (because the definitions are so precise, they might be confusing.
