That is almost 1 in 3 Americans...Including children!!!!

I guess i’m just ignert this way, but if we have roughly 330 million citizens in the U.S. and 95 million working age folks are out of the workforce...how is it the unemployment rate is 4.7%? Even if you take 50% of the rough math out of the equation and call it “margin of error”, how is it that we have 4.7% unemployment? With the margin of error, separating out this hokey group and that, would we not still see something around 17%?

[Windflier]

Fully 30% of the U.S. population is not working, yet we’re to believe that the unemployment rate is just 4.5%?

Lying-est administration in American history!

Headline is misleading. There are 5+ million part-time workers who say they would prefer to work full-time. These people are the so-called “involuntary part-time workers.”

NOW people understand why Donald Trump--who clearly understands we need major regulatory and income tax reform to bring manufacturing jobs back to the USA--is pushing for such reforms. That right there will dramatically increase the employment levels, which is good for everyone involved.

Plus the U-3 and the U-6 ( BLS ) numbers.

[NobleFree]

The “real” unemployment rate, otherwise known as the U-6 measure, was 9.2 percent in December.

End all immigration, legal and illegal, until Americans are employed.

This will be Trump’s big test.
