This means that there were 92,120,000 Americans 16 and older who not only did not have a job, but did not actively seek one in the last four weeks.
That is up 111,000 from the 92,009,000 Americans who were not participating in the labor force in April.
In June, according to BLS, the labor force participation rate for Americans was 62.8 percent, matching a 36-year low. The participation rate is the percentage of the population that either has a job or actively sought one in the last four weeks. |
So, the Republicans have been taking names off of tombstones and counting the permanently disabled and prison population as unemployed? Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Actually, I would say the underemployment issue is a more pressing issue. A whole lot of people working and not making any money in this country. Must mean we need to give another round of tax cuts to the Plutocracy and buy more defective, but horrendously expensive military junk we don't need that doesn't work right anyways?
