The article does a poor job of explaining that this “111 million US adults do not have a job” includes everyone over the age of 16, and may include mothers at home, retirees, people in prison, in hospital etc...

Yes, it also does include a lot of people on welfare who simply sit at home - a figure, along with disability, has been rising steadily over the last decades.

IIRC the disability roles jumped during the 2008 "crisis". It's my understanding once you get on disability you rarely get off.

There needs to be a serious audit of that program.
