In the Obama Economy No One Works in 1 in 5 U.S. Families

No One Works in 1 in 5 U.S. Families

It would be nice if Obama or anyone in the government gave a damn about all the Americans suffering in this economy. But the government is helping create the problem, with massive payments of social security disability, AFDC, EDT, and other programs that ensure that Americans are disincentivized from getting a job.

Work is very outdated.

EIC, UI......food banks lol! Free lunch at school, free daycare. No need work, even water, rent, electric free.

Obama has created a Utopia. Folks made so much money during Obama's first four years that they no longer need work anymore.

Well that's a pretty meaningless stat and certainly not unique to Obama, according to your OWN link!!!

From YOUR link:

There were 81,410,000 families in the United States in 2015. Of those, there were 16,060,000 families in which no member was employed, or 19.7 percent of the total.

The number has remained relatively steady since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking this data since 1995.

That year, the percent of families in which no one had a job was 18.8 percent. The percentage hit an all-time high of 20.2 percent in 2011. It held steady at 20 percent in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, it declined to 19.9 percent and in 2015 it declined again to 19.7 percent.

If we want rational thought and meaningful input from you, we'll ask for it.

And that's while every day baby boomers are retiring. Bet you they are counting retired people. Those lazy mooches.

Don't you just love Republicans? In one thread they're calling unemployed people bums and in another thread they're blaming Obama because these same people can't find work. Those people used to work for the big 3. Today the big 3 are wenys McDonald and burger king

 

[leftwinger]

1% or so is near 800K "families". Not chicken feed.

No one said that, fish. These are people trained not to want work, and certainly not to look for it. Generational dependency is exactly what the democrat party wants, and obama's giving it to them.

"these people"?.....Get out of town. Auto factories never employed that many people.
GM should have been allowed to go through bankruptcy.
Instead. The morons in Washington "saved all those jobs"....So how is it these people "used" to work for the Big Three?...
BTW< there are only TWO US auto manufacturers. Chrysler is no longer a majority US Owned company.

If you aren't from Michigan you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

God knows what Michigan would be without the big 3. Imagine just the retirees alone. There are tons up north where there are no jobs but a lot of big three pensions feeling those economies.

Where I live maybe every 1 out of 3 houses worked for the big three. The rest of us worked for companies that supplied the big three. Exxaggeration a little but you get the point.

And unions brought all our wages up.

The reason you worship kasich is because he has a lot of auto factories in Ohio. We should ship those jobs to mexico and see what he does

I can see that 1 in 5 dont work. You go up north michigans I see so many grandparents living off their pension and supporting their kids and grandkids. Maybe someone skins deer or does carpentry work but basically those town have less jobs than hazard county. But it's beautiful country and I don't want to see industry go up there and ruin it.

Then we have ghettos. Not a lot of jobs in those. Why don't they move? Maybe we do need to crack down on welfare and get them to move

If it weren't for Ford I wouldn't be who I am which is pretty damn successful but without Ford my brother wouldn't be a VP of a fortune 500. I'm the only one who didn't work for Ford. My mom was even a medical biller for Henry Ford hospital.

Today I just found out that Ford reimburses my dad for his Medicare costs. Something like $4k a year. Everyone else in America has to pay that every year but big 3 retirees don't. My dad has a fortune saved and two homes. Now that is when America was great. We're we perfect hell no.

Don't blame Ford for that mess.

 

[EverCurious]

For the record, Ford didn't need to be bailed out, they only took the money because it could/would give the other companies an advantage (I believe they were the first to pay it back as well.)
