The figures seem to include homemakers.

That needs to be backed out of the numbers.

It needs to advise working age non-workers. Are any children counted in this number? Also, how many Americans are working for comparison? Lots of questions.

“””The figures seem to include homemakers.

Here are some numbers to ponder-—

Total population 341 million

Age 18 to 65 population is 212 million.

So I do not buy the author’s numbers that 111 million are not working.

When you remove medically unable to work, stay at home mothers, unpaid caregivers for elderly parents, and other reasons, the author’s numbers are pretty much hogwash.

And retirees. Some workplaces still practice age discrimination.
