If you count those between 18 and 65 at 220 million as the labor force, and employment at 140 million, you have (1 - 140/220) = 36% abled bodied adults without work.

Well buddy, you want to parse numbers to get a clearer picture? Then first discard your simplisitc 90% are employed figure and let's delve a little deeper. Certainly the unemployed are somewhere between 10% and 36%. Arent they? |

Unemployment figures also don't account for recent college and high school graduates out looking for work.
My kid graduated from college over a year ago and still can't find a full time job in or out her field. Most of the kids she graduated with are in the same boat.
So we are looking at hundreds of thousands of these kids that are in essence out of work. |

The problem NMC is that you are arguing on one plane that being that percentage wise it doesn't appear that bad and the upshot of your argument is that it rally doesn't get bad until 51% are unemployed which would mean approx 70 mil would be out of work. The others are arguing population numbers of which 10% in real terms is approx 14 mil. You can't resolve an argument which takes place on two different planes because you can't find any common points of agreement. Thus you become frustrated and hostile to them just as they do towards you. Most political arguments today operate the same way that is why our people are so polarized and will continue to be so until we learn to discuss on level planes one at a time. |

well 5 percent unemployment would be normal any way so that means 15 million are out of work more than norma,l . not counting day labors and the 10 million plus plus .eligals working for cas,h then remember kids are added into the total population of america so they would not have jobs any way. . |

9 out of 10 people still have a job.
Doesn't sound so bad now, eh? Quoting: NoMoreCages
1 out of 10 is in NEED of a job and can't find one and is currently on unemployment
1 out of 20 is in NEED of a job and can't find one and is NOT currently on unemployment
1 out of 20 is on total federal assistance of some kind and is NOT working .
1 out of 10 is retired or cannot work and depends on a family member .
1 out of 50 is in college or otherwise getting loans to be qualified for a job
so..this comes out to about
32% of the WORKING AGE of population is not doing ANYTHING productive. (unemployed).
in places like California, Michigan you can nearly DOUBLE that number.
in the depression, the unemployment rate of 25% WAS NOT FIGURED USING ADJUSTED NUMBERS OF ONLY THOSE THAT WERE NO LONGER ON UNEMPLOYMENT BENFITS.
IF TODAY WE USE THE SAME METHOD OF CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED AS THEY DID IN THE DEPRESSION ...
THE NUMBER IS ABOUT 24%...WE ARE AT DEPRESSION LEVELS. NOW.
AND IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE FOR YEARS TO COME |

If the over 65 demographic or under 18 demographic does not interest you it should. They are DEPENDANT and the social security system relies on payroll deductions. What portion of the USA falls into the combination of these two groups?
Over 65 = 19%
Under 18 = 25%
Combined = 44% of US Citizens are dependent upon the other 56% so as the dependant % rises the EMPLOYED % falls.
14% Unemployment is the DEPRESSION THRESHOLD, ask any economist. This is basic so when you add the 30,000,000 illegal aliens to the mix more Americans wind up on the DEPENDANT side. After so many months of collecting UNEMPLOYMENT if you resort to moving back home to mom and dad the system is unable to account for you. Hence the statistics are all slanted and show a lower rate of unemployment than there actually is.
We should kill the over 65 and under 18. They contribute nothing to society. Quoting: Bob

Your facts are way off, keep looking though.
If there is 10% unemployment there is 90% employment...how hard is that to understand, dumbass? Quoting: NoMoreCages
You're the dummy here you fool. Unemployment rates are calculated by how many people file for unemployment and who are still recieving a unemployment check. your unemployment runs out, you're taken off the rolls as unemployed, even though one still has not found paying work.
Just because the govt puts out a offical figure say like 10% does not mean thats the actual percentage of people out of work.
You must believe everything the govt offically anounces or puts forth as fact? Which is foolish on it's face! |

Disabled of working age (18 to 65) is around 10 million. Therefore 1 - 140/(220-10)= 33% abled bodied unemployed...

Yes, and the average work week is 33 hours. That's 82.5%.
So to get an accurate reading you need to multiply the 90% x 82.5% to get the real employment rate. It equals 74.3%
If you want to celebrate 74.3%, you'd better not do it near an unemployment line or in front of someone who is having trouble getting enough hours to pay their bills.

The demographic data is in the first link, the employment data is in the second. The 36% number is a mathematical calculation, it doent lie...
However, you can't say that all 220 million are 'able-bodied'..not even close. What about the tens of millions of disabled people in that demo?
Well buddy, you want to parse numbers to get a clearer picture? Then first discard your simplisitc 90% are employed figure and let's delve a little deeper. Certainly the unemployed are somewhere between 10% and 36%. Arent they?
Again, I was simply stating an arbitrary figure..for the 10th time, moran. And who the fuck is parsing numbers except you? Are you trying to argue that there aren't literally 10s of millions that are disabled and unable to work in the 18-65 demo?
Listen, I was just "stating an arbitrary number" just like you. But you prefer an "arbitrary" number that doesnt take into account all the unemployed who are not in the labor force, who have dropped off the radar. Okay I am including them. If you want to exclude the diabled than DO YOUR RESEARCH instead of GUESSING how many there are...

Funny how the one ad hominem guy is arguing with the other ad hominem guy!
Quick! Print Screen for the Kodak moment "Say Cheese!"
Actually we are on the same side on this one. Strange bedfellows. I am posting figures and the assumptions behind those figures so are you.
You stick to the under 18, over 65s and I'll stick to the 18 to 65s.
I'm not on your side or his side or any side. The subject of the thread is INCORRECTLY STATED. The fact is you and the OP are both TROLLS and it is IRONC that you bait each other.
In a way it is super FUNNY as the one ASSHOLE vs. another ASSHOLE!
