THose are different statistics -- that 41% comment is being applied to the labor participate rate. The former stat which I referred to is the % of households in which nobody has a job (e.g. retirees + unemployed).

Note that for the latter, the BLS page I just took a look at disputes what ZH asserts as well:

Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey
Series Id: LNS11300000
Seasonally Adjusted
Series title: (Seas) Labor Force Participation Rate
Labor force status: Civilian labor force participation rate
Type of data: Percent or rate
Age: 16 years and over

Labor Particpation Rate


Could be this page is wrong, but that has always been my understanding, so I think it is correct.
