No it wasn't changed. I know you have never seen anything reputable claiming that, so either you're flat out lying or you don't care if it's actually true. Research: you will find no changes to definition under ObamaYes it was changed to benifit obama how else can you hide 92 million unemployed Americans? DUMB ASS BITCHIt has always been defined as those neither employed nor unemployed.It's because they made recent changes what is defined as out of the work force. I think it was in 2010Wishes the forumIt's a fact you dont know what the hell you're talking about.No, it's a fact that high schoolers who don't want to work are among those 86.5 million who choose to be out of the labor force. It's a fact that baby boomers who retire are among them. It's a fact that housewives and househusbands who choose not to work are among them.jester
Sadly for you, the BLS defines who is not in the labor force...
Not in the labor force
Persons who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force. This category includes retired persons, students, those taking care of children or other family members, and others who are neither working nor seeking work. Information is collected on their desire for and availability for work, job search activity in the prior year, and reasons for not currently searching. See also Labor force and Discouraged workers.
That's pretty much what I said. As usual, you lose because you're a loser and losing is what losers do best. And you're among the best of them.![]()
