Re: BREAKING: 89 Million Americans Unemployed
thats getting scary close to 1/3 of us.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23369416


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

[link to www.census.gov]

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

[link to www.childtrendsdatabank.org]

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.

[link to www.amda.com]

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.

fed records show only 114million working taxpayers and that the US population is 314Million.

about a month ago the number of unemployed hit 100 million

Ever heard the word "compassion"? Like compassion for those less fortunate than you!?

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 -

Re: BREAKING: 89 Million Americans Unemployed
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics

www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-03.pdf

Population over the age of 18 - 234 mil
Population over the age of 62 - 50 mil
Enrolled in college - 21 mil
About 163mil

US employment - 156 mil

Subtract stay home moms, no disaster.

It is absurd to think that every 15 year old should be working. 89 million unemployed -? Absurd
