Let's not make up yet more numbers here, that's how we got into this mess. There are lots of good hard numbers we could be using, like by taking the population of the U.S. minus payroll employment we can say factually that there are over a hundred million Americans not employed.
If what CNBC quoted was correct then Trump screwed up when he said they were all "looking for a job".
The only people “not looking for a job” are the folks who don’t need to. Sort of like “which of these boats in the marina are for sale?” They all are.
Some don’t need a job because they have been so productive for so long they cant be attracted. Some, because they have been worthless for so long they aren’t likely to change soon. The real question is which do we want more of? Like G Gordon used to say, you get more of what you subsidize.
