1 In 4 Americans 25-54 Not Working" "economy Working?" Ask These People!

[Billy000]

A new chart from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee shows a startling fact: Almost 1 in 4 Americans between the ages of 25-54 (or prime working years) are not working.

Here's a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million)
and those who aren't (28.9 million):

1 in 4 Americans 25-54 Not Working The Weekly Standard

How about you ask the job creators, who are wealthier than ever before, for more jobs?

ask them for more jobs? How stupid! So they provide even more make work jobs that are not needed and we all pay higher prices and get poorer? Its the same as giving everyone a job as a street sweeper!

Why not eliminate the corporate tax so they have a real reason to come back and bring the real jobs and real money with them.

Umm what?

dear, you said you wanted to ask for more jobs because as a liberal you lack the IQ to understand how real jobs are created.

So...they aren't created by our wealthier-than-they've-ever-been job creators?

Ever heard of housewives, wealthy, etc? Dumbass.

We NEED DEMAND, fool. Voodoo has wrecked the nonrich. See sig also, chump of the greedy idiot GOP.

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

There is a lie in that chart...that ALL those not in the labor force are so discouraged they left the labor force.
As of August the breakdown of those age 25-54 Not in the Labor Force was:
Total: 23,624,000
Did Not Want a Job: 20,899,000
Wanted to work, did not look for work in over a year: 1,461,000
Wanted to work, looked in last year but not last 4 weeks, not available to start now: 301,000
Wanted to work, looked in last year but not last 4 weeks, available to work, stopped looking for personal reasons (family issues, school, transportation etc) 639,000
Wanted to work, looked in last year but not last 4 weeks, available to work, stopped looking due to discouragement: 324,000

Many of those could be housewives/husbands.

Some could be people with unusual circumstances who don't need a job that counts in the statistics (I fall into this category. I have a job, but I would not show up as a member of the workforce in any stats).

Causes:

2) liberal corporate taxes drove 30 million jobs off shore
3) liberal social policies destroyed the family thus rendering many not qualified to be middle class
4) liberals invited 10 million illegals in to take what jobs were left and to drive down wages

U6 unemployment is 12% or about 50% higher than it was before recession. Obama has worst record since FDR. There are fewer full time jobs now than before recession. And, average pay is dowm about 7%. Barry should be impeached!!

 

[saveliberty]

Yes, above normal unemployment in that sector and coupled with lower wages and higher inflation, unlikely a spouse can choose to not seek employment.

You wanted to know what happened to the middle class. I told you:

1) liberal unions drove 30 million middle class jobs off shore
2) liberal corporate taxes drove 30 million jobs off shore
3) liberal social policies destroyed the family thus rendering many not qualified to be middle class
4) liberals invited 10 million illegals in to take what jobs were left and to drive down wages

and then you tried to change the subject to pub tax rates?? Slow?? Liberal??

Still waiting for proof of all these allegations, Ed, otherwise these are just your opinions. Liberals and conservatives are both responsible for the illegal invasion. There are fines for businesses hiring illegals. How many republicans are pushing for the fining of businesses? By the way, Reagan started the ball rolling with his amnesty which is why we have been colonized by Mexico. Anyway, show some proof that unions sent 30 million jobs to other countries. A link, anything.

too stupid and 100% liberal!! Republicans want to build a wall to control the border while liberals do not!! What planet have you been on??

I don't care about who's to blame. I was just commenting on why so many might not want a job.

 

[Montrovant]

Yes, above normal unemployment in that sector and coupled with lower wages and higher inflation, unlikely a spouse can choose to not seek employment.

You find it unlikely that there are housewives or househusbands who don't work in that age group?

Greedy Pub marketing types for cheap labor, bottom line did that, not unions, who have never been weaker.Pub produced POVERTY has wrecked the family. Pubs LOVE cheap labor, refuse a good SS/ID card, the only solution, dupe the chumps with useless fences and harassment laws.

You'r a gd brainwashed idiot. Even worse, a total waste of time, hater dupe.

Not at all, I find it very unusual that there would be a sizable increase during a period of lower wages and higher inflation.
