Do keep in mind that not everyone of te 94,000,000 who do not work outside the home are “unemployed”. My wife stays at home and homeschools our three children. She, and millions of other home-makers should not be pressured to work outside the home to be regarded as socially meaningful.
Point well taken.
Let’s look at 94 million adults not in the work force. Stay at home moms, students, those legitimately disabled.
We also have 3 million in prison and those making a living ‘off the books.’
I’d guess 15-20% is the real unemployment number.
It’s obvious the 5-6% is cooking the books.
