High numbers on disability will affect the unemployment rate because they are no longer counted in labor pool. Same for early retirees.
Yeah, that’s what I was saying.
We have more than 10 million people now on disability nationally. We have increased from 8 to 10 million in the last few years since I have been paying attention to that number. I am sure that some of that increase can be accounted for in the “graying” of our population. However, a good chunk of it is people just taking advantage of the system and liberal Obama appointees doing what they can to encourage the dependency state. They kill two birds with one stone. They create more potential dem voters and decrease official unemployment stats.
So, all these employment stats are lies, just like almost everything claimed by this administration.
