“Retired people...”

Quick search;
Per pensiondaily(dot)com, 16.8% of the nation is retired. This doesn’t account for the % who have financially prepared for retirement, so let’s cut that % down 1/2.. roughly 8%

That is 28 million.
Add the 111 million in this article and we’re at 139 million

Ok home makers, caring for others? No clue, but I know in Texas about something like 38% of moms stay home.

If you add all the categories this number will still be huge, but it will be about half of what the article says.
