There Are 100 Million Working Age Americans That Do Not Have Jobs (unemployment rate, Obama)

[KRAMERCAT]

The unemployment crisis in America is much worse than you are being told.

Did you know that there are 100 million working age Americans that do not get up in the morning and go to work?

According to the federal government, there are 12.6 million working age Americans that are considered to be "officially" unemployed, but there are another 87.8 million working age Americans that are not working either.

The federal government considers those Americans to be "not in the labor force" so they are not included in the unemployment rate.

That would be 33% of Americans under Obama?

Seems high.

The total number of working age Americans not in the labor force now stands at 87,897,000....

So when you add 12,673,000 and 87,897,000, you get a total of 100,570,000 working age Americans that do not have jobs.

Yes, there are certainly millions upon millions of working age Americans that do not have jobs and that do not want jobs.

But you have to be delusional to believe that there are nearly 88 million working age Americans that do not have jobs and that do not want jobs.

What are they doing? And what is considered "working age?"

Working Age is loaded, it should be "able to work". What is defined as working age? 16-70? yeah, we have teenagers and retirees in the number. How about disabled (which ranges from mental retardation to paralyzed to autistic) and those who are in prison.

And, what is considered as having a job? Full time? Part time? Military duty? Home business? "Under-employment?"

More questions than answers so far.
