93 MILLION working age Americans having given up even looking for work

Not sure how they come up w/ that number, tho I hear Rush toot it all the time.  When I subtract the employment level from the employment age population I get an increase that's over 100 million.

What does Rush care? He is a Free Traitor gloBULList i.e. mainstream Republican. He loves the ChiComs.

U.S. available labor force (157,002,000 people) with a labor force participation rate of 62.8 percent (lowest since the late 70’s under Carter) yields 58,404,774 potential workers not working. Not sure if the govt. is “massaging” the “avail. labor force” numbers down to make things seem rosier.
