Fox Reports That 98,000,000 Americans Out Of Work

[Wyatt earp]

What does Bush have to do with the fact that almost 100 million Americans don't want to work under Obama, when they can get free gold teeth and spinners for their car?


.

1/3rd of the country huh?


aside from la la land, where do these idiots come from?

Unemployment rate is under 5% , yet fox would have us believe it's something like 40% !?

Don't you think people would notice !?!

We need to do a better job at getting 16 year olds, housewives and old folks back in the workforce

Why some people continue to lie when the truth of the matter is so obvious is enigmatic. I know why the criminal element does, but why do the crazy right wingers do so over and over?

How so?

- 100 Million Americans Not Working!

Over the last year, only 1.3 million Americans of working age have entered the workforce, even as the population of this same demographic increased by more than 2.8 million. Just over 1 million members of this group found jobs. That's right -- of the new additions to the working age population, less than four in 10 found jobs.

Today the labor force participation rate for the 16 to 24 age group is 55.1 percent, down from 60.8 percent a decade ago and more than 66 percent back in the late 1990s. We're headed toward becoming Greece, where half the young people don't work.





Minimum wage increases are pricing the young out of the workforce. Welfare programs are effectively paying people not to work. Too many Americans have high school and even college degrees that are next to worthless to employers.

........and what you libtards forgot this already????

Obamacare Means People Can "Pursue Their Dreams," Not Work



The Obama Administration’s latest argument for Obamacare is that some people don’t want to work, and Obamacare makes not working easier for those people.
This new spin comes conveniently in the wake of a Congressional Budget Office report demonstrating Obamacare will push about 2 million workers out of the labor market by 2017.
The liberals of the Obama Administration spun the new data as only they can. Politico Pro reports (sub. req’d):
Instead, the Obama administration says, the health care law will allow people to choose to work less.
Under Obamacare, “individuals will be empowered to make choices about their own lives and livelihoods, like retiring on time rather than working into their elderly years or choosing to spend more time with their families,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.

True, but the OP is still a .... lie.

 

[hadit]

And the child labor. By golly, we need to get them back in the factories where their little hands can get into the machinery.

That's the ticket. Why their tiny hands' dexterity could be useful with computers.

Nah, it's much more efficient and you get better results with robots. Kids keep wanting to go to the bathroom and eat.

 

[g5000]

I'm still waiting for the 93 million people to be thrown off their employer health insurance that the rubes promised would happen in 2014 2015 2016.

It baffles the shit out of me how hard they work to destroy their own integrity.

I wonder how true that became? Is there an uptick in new small business, people quitting their high paid jobs and doing more simple things?

Minimum wage increases are pricing the young out of the workforce. Welfare programs are effectively paying people not to work. Too many Americans have high school and even college degrees that are next to worthless to employers.

In 1985, the average Labor Force Participation Rate for ages 16-24 was 68.3% while the average for 2015 was 55%
But in 1985, 64% of age 16-24 were NOT enrolled in school (and 36% were). The participation rate for those not enrolled was 80.5% and 46.5% for those enrolled
In 2015, it was 47.7% not enrolled in school, and 52.3% enrolled. The participation rate for those not enrolled was 76.6% and 35.3% for those enrolled.

So the huge drop in participation for 16 to 24 year olds is mostly due to a much larger percent of that age group going to school, and fewer of those in school working.

Those enrolled in school for this age group are only loosely attached to the labor force. Many (most?) don't particularly need a job and are only after extra cash. So if things become more difficult, they're quick to drop out because they don't necessarily care. And then they're in no hurry to go back to the labor market.

Thirty years ago you could get a job out of High School and be able to support yourself. Can't do that today so more young people stay home to develop marketable skills

Republicans are outraged

 

[rightwinger]

Another key factor adding to the drop in LPR is not only four million baby boomers retiring each year, but they are living much longer than they did 30 years ago

Republicans: Why won't you old people just die?

But we do have a two tier rate. The Youth Minimum Wage is $4.25 an hour for people under age 20 for their first 90 days at a company. And there are other minimum wage exceptions for full time students, student-learners, etc.

Well if the poor children had jobs, wouldn't they not be poor? I mean it's high time the GOP called for an end to all this Molly-Coddling. If steps can be taken to turn them form "takers" into "makers," then it's our RESPONSIBILITY to provide them an avenue to earn self-respect and self-reliance.

That's right, Snooty Newty Gingrich says they should be scrubbing the toilets of the schools they attend to pay for their free education.

- 100 Million Americans Not Working!

Geeezzz, these lying bastards exaggerate this meaningless number every time they bring it up, proving even they know it a worthless number and must be exaggerated to have any impact on the gullible SUCKERS!

 

[Contumacious]

If that's even close to the truth nobody had a job under Bush:

THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORK - THEY WILL BE ---SOMEHOW --------TAKEN CARE OF BY THE BERNERS, SOCIALISTS, FASCISTS. ACCORDING TO THEM FUCK THE WORK ETHIC, SHIT ON THE TAXPAYERS AND PRODUCERS.


.

 

[gipper]

Anyone citing this shit pretending it means something is literally retarded. You morons do know this number includes infants, kids in school, college students, mothers not working to raise kids, disabled people, veterans, and most of all, PEOPLE RETIRED.

You just proved you are the moron. The stat includes all those age 16 and up. Too funny...

Which overwhelmingly includes teens, college students, mothers not working, the sick and lame and crazy, the scorse of millions of retirees, and those who prefer not to work and don't have to. Out of the closer to 95 million not working, we are talking about six or seven million. Still too much but a much more honest figure than Gipper gives.

I did not give a figure dumb ass.

It is clear that we have a large segment of the population not working. It is as low as it was in the mid-70s. I know this means little to someone like you, who blows BO in your dreams every night.

Could an Obama-Ryan Tax Plan Fix America’s Labor-Force Woes?
