BREAKING: 89 Million Americans Unemployed | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23219045 United States 09/08/2012 05:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. www.usdebtclock.org 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 |

Quoting: Russ Sat Aug 6/23/12 agreed, we run our house that way and i think it is the smarter one..... It's life as we know it, but only just.

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