What are so many of them doing? 95 million not in US labor force

[Rkstar71]

I personally know about 6 able-bodied people, ages 26-35 who won't work or even look for work. They're content with sponging and mooching off of family and others.

At least one in that group is a thief and lier and has their mother convinced they are mentally ill. I know they aren't. They're just lazy and self-entitled and allergic to work and earning.

I'm sure there is a lot more of that type around the country. Are they also figured into that count of 95 million?

I think there is more options for seniors to work contract, temp or fill in PART TIME jobs in their 60s than in the 1990s which had a lower number of people over 65 working.

I doubt there is many more senior citizens working in Blue Collar Full Time jobs today than in the year 2000. I have not seen any seniors working changing oil at Jiffy Lube.

I, a senior, am still working but only part time., so I guess I am part of the 18.8 percent toiling away.

Democrats take heed.

Don't think any of those refugees are ungrateful.
Besides there aren't many of them.

That means 20 million people are of normal working age, not in college and not working.

Are 90 million Americans not working or not looking for work? | PolitiFact

That still leaves 20 million who have no reason not to be working out there but are still eating, have cellphones and watch cable. There are countries that don't have 20 million people.

How many of that 20 M are stay at home spouses?
