BREAKING: 89 Million Americans Unemployed

There are about 314 million people in the U.S.

Of this number, approximately 74 million people are children (ages 1-14 years).

That leaves 240 million people in th U.S. who are age 15 and above (not young children).

Thus, this latest figure of 89 million Americans being unemployed takes on new meaning.

89 million of 240 million is MORE THAN ONE THIRD of all Americans age 15 and over.

37.1% of Americans age 15 and over are unemployed.

Now, take into consideration that 27 million Americans are age 65 or over.

This means that those who should be working (those who are not too young or should be retired) total 213 million people.

Thus, the 89 million unemployed people comprise nearly 42% (41.8%) of the 213 million people that should be working.

THAT'S why the situation FEELS so DIRE.

IT IS DIRE.

Don't let anyone (especially any politician) tell you otherwise.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Send them all to Mexico.

Some families do it the smart way and have one parent at home with the kids.

Simply ask yourself - why isn't their fruit trees in parks?
Because if you could get it for free you wouldn't need them,
would you?

people are figuring it out - remove yourself from the system
and the system crashes -
