Labor outlook: "Bleak" 90 million out of work

Labor outlook: 'It's just a very tough job market'

Millions of Americans are off from work this Labor Day. But millions of others are off nearly every day because they have no job—or have given up looking for one.

"It's just a very tough job market now. There's no other way of putting it," said Daniel Opler, professor of history and a labor expert at the College of Mount St.Vincent.

the number of Americans in the labor force, or those working or seeking a job, is at a 35-year low of 63.4 percent.

That translates into some 89.9 million Americans who are not working or seeking work.

This number might seem like a contradiction to the falling overall unemployment rate—from a high of 10 percent in October 2009 to a recent 7.4 percent in July.

But a big part of the decline is likely due to the Millions who have taken themselves out of the job market, said Bob Funk, CEO of Express Employment.


"It's a tragedy so many people have given up looking for work, " he said. "It's older people and younger people that have in essence just thrown in the towel."

Well done Obama You have destroyed a nation and put millions out of jobs....America has enough of your Carnival barking lies and bullshit !

A lot of it is simple demographics, the baby boomers are reaching retirement age so the labor force as a percentage of the population began shrinking.

You have destroyed a nation

Hah hah little drama queen much? This nation is destroyed?

 

[Rozman]

It's a mess in the job market.
I doubt even the Libs believe the crap that comes out of their mouths
when they defend this President.

HOW DARE students stay in school past age 16, they need to drop out and work until they die.
HOW DARE a parent stay home and raise their children.
HOW DARE a senior retire, they need to stay on the job until they drop dead.
HOW DARE an adult stay home to care for a sick or aged family member.
HOW DARE anyone become disabled, they should be forced to work anyway, but employers should not be required to make any concessions to accommodate their disabilities.

These non-workers are nothing but useless eaters. Stoke up the ovens.

May 25, 2012
RUSH: And I know that 88 million Americans are not working but they're eating, and it's a statistic that worries me.
It's quite telling that 88 million are not working but they're eating.

Now, now. Poor nova can not find anything truthful where he spends his time. so, the poor ignorant guy, what can he do. Too stupid to find fact, he simply posts conservative dogma. Way to incapable of more than cut and paste.

If people are retiring aren't they considered not part of the equation of people
looking for work.They are no longer part of the job pool.

And another congenital idiot posts. Nothing can be done, of course. Being a congenital idiot is a problem that defies medical help. Because it is congenital. Back to your bat shit crazy con web sites, now, Rozman. Cut and paste, me dear. Because your opinion is a bit much. No one respects your opinion, except other congenital idiots.

And another well proven congenital idiot posting opinion. How useful. But what can a person expect from Crusader. He can not help himself.

Employers probably added more workers in August and the jobless rate held at a more than four-year low, signaling a strengthening U.S. labor market that will help sustain growth, economists said before a report this week.
Payrolls rose by 180,000 following a 162,000 gain the prior month, according to the median forecast of 71 economists surveyed by Bloomberg ahead of Labor Department figures Sept. 6.
Employment Probably Picked Up in August: U.S. Economy Preview - Bloomberg

We should be about to hear about the gov conspiracy to cover the death of out economy. From these same brain dead posters on this board. What a crew.

How is this news bleak? Republicans have made mini careers out of looking for bad news about Obama. Bad is good in a republicans mind.

Hmm. accidentally read a post by CF. Social Security was a good progressive idea. Match that with a good idea from the reactionary (republican) party of the rich.

Oh. So it was Obama that turned you into a congenital idiot. Damn him. But that can NOT be the case. Your problem is congenital. Probably just the normal delusion. Well, just remember. It is congenital. Not your fault. Just bad luck.

How are they not considered part of the equation? The OP was lamenting the shrinking labor force, and the percentage in the labor force is directly impacted by people not looking for work because they retired. Percentage in labor force = labor force / everyone. Retirees are in the denominator.

He then used that percentage to derive how many million people are not in the labor force. Again, retirees end up in that equation.

 

[Nova78]

On the good side the Government is pacifying millions by legalizing Marijuana and offering cheap liquor , keeping the unemployed masses in a lethargic stupor ..

Right, which means they are no longer part of the Labor Force and therefore part of the 90 million Not in the Labor Force.
