I would if I could ;)
Ebt and disability are now options!
There is, bit it's one the welfare state advocates in the MSM don't like to hear: People are increasingly realizing that working harder to earn a little more money and pay a lot more taxes is a foolish waste of their time. Better to Go Galt, even if they don't all know who Galt is.
Most of those “new jobs” pay less than welfare. It’s part of “fundamentally transforming” the country.
One reason is age discrimination. If you’re over 50 it’s hard finding a job other than walmart greeter.
101 Million adults Not employed.
Guess the percentage of adults employed.
The question should be HOW ARE PEOPLE LIVING WITH NO JOB!
That's the question I want answered!
CLEARLY, it's because welfare and Gov't benefits pay more than a job!
Because I could?
People retiring is the problem?
The figures from September showed of the 248,000 jobs created 230,000 were in the 55 to 69 year age demo,in the 25to 54 age demo,10,000 jobs were lost!
All the jobs were in minimum wage or slightly higher range
Does anyone really believe that the unemployment rate is below 6 per cent? Why would the federal labor department employees be honest with their information when the ATF, the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, the White House staff, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, HHS (ala Obamacare), ICE, NSA, John Clapper, and many others have all lied to us multiple times about the matters for which they are responsible.
The very minimum that we should expect from our elected officials at all levels and our government employees at all levels is integrity. Without integrity all the time nothing else matters
I think one of the things that may have happened is with married couples. One of them lost their job and so ended up staying home with the kids. They were able to get food stamps and weren’t paying for child care and found that with the extra help they could get by with one income.
Umm, Kim Peterson - it's called 'perverse incentives'...

Oh! Oh-oh! Pick me!
“leaving the workforce”?
Now THAT’S communist propaganda since the workforce laid off those people.
Why people leave the work force:
( in my family and friends)
1.Lost job in 2007, out of work 18 months, not hired because of “lost skills”. Took part time jobs, now retired.
2. Lost job in 2008, ran out unemployment insurance,found out doing with a little less could make it on one salary.
3. Went on SSI disability, subsidized housing.
4. Making more on government handouts than would at part time job.
These are some of the personal reasons my family, and friends are not in the workforce.
6 in all.
Because the "safety net" has been turned into a comfortable hammock, reducing the answer to the very simple "because they can".
My husband left the workforce because he was laid off in November of 2013 and he has been unable to find anything in his field. We sold our home in California and moved to Texas in August and he is still looking for work..
It is highly unlikely he will ever have the same sort of job which is unfortunate as he has only had 2 jobs in his 20 year carrer.
