– 88 million out of work and not looking for a job (San Francisco Chronicle, Feb. 9, 2012):
Number of the day
88 million
That’s how many working-age Americans don’t have a job and aren’t trying to find one.
The increase in people dropping out of the labor market altogether skews the otherwise-positive unemployment numbers released last week.
While the jobless rate fell to 8.3 percent in January – a three-year low – it doesn’t account for this army of nonworking Americans.
The percentage of people participating in the labor market dropped to 63.7 percent last month, the lowest level since May 1983.
everything is right on track….micro chipped if you want food stamps..Dec 21 2012 then hello NWO
I’m trying to track down this figure in a US paper or international paper. It definitely should have been reported in a major newspaper such as the WSJ.
