88 Million is not 1 in 3 Americans op. It's 1 in 4.

There are 331 million People in the U.S.

Math=Fail.

It shouldn't surprise any of us OP when people don't do their own investigations and rely on propaganda websites like you do.

That is the statistics. It's called labor force participation rates and it's measured in every UN country. Of course you wont even research what it means or how it's measured. But here it is for you anyway.

We are no worse off than any other country.

From the nation's total population, you need to subtract the truly retired people and those who are too young to work or who are unable to work and also subtract those in the military in order to establish the number of Americans in the workforce. When you do that, you'll see that the number gets to about 1 in 3 Americans in the workforce who are unemployed or under-employed. We are talking Depression-level unemployment numbers right now.
