>>"#1 “Ninety-four million Americans are out of the labor force”"<<


Typical BS from the LIAR IN CHIEF bought by the dopes such as you. As he said before...he could fire a shot down 5th Avenue hitting someone and the dopes such as you would still vote for him to "Make Russia Great Again".

All Americans 16 years old and up: 253.9 million

Americans in the labor force with a job: 152.1 million

Americans in the labor force without a job: 8.0 million


UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 4.9%



That leaves 93.8 million Americans not in the labor force. But a lot of them are not in the labor force for understandable reasons.

44.0 million are retired.

15.3 million are disabled.

13.3 million are taking care of a family member.

13.2 million are in college or job training.

So: of the 93.8 million Americans not working, 85.8 million are retired, disabled, taking care of a loved one, or in school.

That leaves 8 million people - what about them?

5.9 million Americans have looked for a job in the past year OR want a job but have given up searching for over a year.

2.1 million Americans are in the shadows. We don't know why they are not in the work force.
