More Americans not working than ever before

This is the type of thing that makes it impossible to balance the budget on the basis of hope.

The share of the population that is working fell to its lowest level last year since women started entering the workforce in large numbers three decades ago, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Only 45.4% of Americans had jobs in 2010, the lowest rate since 1983 and down from a peak of 49.3% in 2000. Last year, just 66.8% of men had jobs, the lowest on record.
The bad economy, an aging population and a plateau in women working are contributing to changes that pose serious challenges for financing the nation’s social programs.

It would be interesting to see if this tied directly to the misery index. If you are not producing something, you are pretty miserable, no matter what the lefties tell you.

Lefties now tell people who don't work that they should be happy. Where do you people come up with some of this crap?

i think that a lot of the big corporations (privately owned) are developing contingency plans to disband and move away from america, i hope they do. there comes a point when the radical government will push too hard, we don't have to bust our asses to have it taken by the government and the government"s bedmates (general electric) and unions. we'll deal with the next generation in the aftermath.

I think alot of white people are seeing America turning into a brown third world country, and are kind of giving up.
