Full-time increased to 132.156 million in Aug 2019 from 132.153 million in July, an increase of just 3,000.
Average full-time in 2019 at 50.3% of population is still well below the average two-decade experience of Americans between 1987 and 2008 when full-time averaged 51.8% of population. We can't even yet match the average cyclical high of 51.1% prior to 2008.
In August 2019 51.8% working full-time instead of the actual 50.9% would mean 2.23 million MORE people working full-time right now than actually do.
The spread between the 2019 average of 50.3% and the 1987-2008 average of 51.8% is even higher: 3.9 million MORE who could be working full-time on average this year but are not, simply because whatever broke after 2008 still isn't fixed, not by Trump, not by Obama, not by Republicans, not by Democrats, not by Bernanke, Yellen, Powell or by anybody else.
It's busted, I tell ya, but they still let legal immigrants in by the millions, not to mention illegals.
It's insanity.
