I didn't work for 20 years by choice, I was NOT "unemployed". Now I work part time by choice, I am NOT "under employed". This is why I hate broad statistics
Thats one of the most pathetic responses I've ever heard in my entire life. Who gives a **** how many are unemployed, as long as Republicans dont win right?
You must of missed the actual breakdown of that number, sad for you, probably why your buddy Romney only scored 47% of the vote.
Unless you think we have a 53% unemployment, then you are just plain dumb.
Who are they? I've read several thoughtful responses to the OP's simplistic and sweeping generalizations about those who are not employed full-time, a group that includes me, a college-educated, married, mother of three children, who works part-time and volunteers for a youth organization. My husband is a professional, and our generous family income ensures we pay plenty in taxes. I am NOT a moocher, but the OP would characterize me as such, because I am part of the 53% who are not employed full-time.
You must think that people going to school, people being disabled, housewives etc are a new idea in america..
Ah yes, you must be one of those who hated the 50s when a family could live off one income. When my wife and I have a baby and we can afford to have one of us stay home, I have no problem with letting my wife stay at home raising the baby.
What do you have against stay at home parents, students, disabled, etc?

On the other hand, as long as they don't change the methodology they provide a baseline useful for comparison.

So now your excue is most people in america are staying home by choice because they like living in poverty. tell me, are they doing it just to make Obama look bad? Just when I thought you couldnt get any more pathetic, you prove me wrong..
Tell me Urban.. if the numbers are so good, and they really havent changed since Obama has been sworn into office, why the hell did you ***** and moan about them under Bush? Are you telling me so many people left the job market in 2007-2008 because they were having babies?

No, people left the job market in 2008 because the financial and housing market collapsed.
Also, you must of forgotten what unemployment peaked at from that collapse and where we are now. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who would like to return to the workforce, though many people that were laid off ended up doing an early retirement.
Why do you whine about the percentage of working Americans when there was even less in the people in the workforce.
