I 100% sympathize with this technically true observation, but at least 17 million of these 54 million not in labor force are in high school and college!
It would be SO much better for high schoolers and collegians if there were ZERO illegal and legal immigrants taking the jobs they need to finance their educations, but when I think labor force, I don't think people 16-24 even though they contribute a lot to the economy.
Go to school. Stay in school. Then work like hell, SAVE, INVEST, and enjoy the American dream while voting for immigration restrictionists.
People foolishly say Trump gave the Norcoms nothing when he's foolishly curtailing joint military exercises with SK
U.S. to end large-scale military drills with South Korea:
Word of the planned announcement comes less than 48 hours
after a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un came to
an abrupt end with no agreement. Trump said afterward that the annual
military drills with South Korea were "very, very expensive" and the
government in Seoul should pay more for them. ... “That’s not good alliance management,"
Klingner said. “We didn’t get anything in return. North Korea did not
codify their missile test moratorium, nor do they agree to any
constraints on their own military operations.”
People 55-64 forced out of the labor force since 2000 is up 49.5%, more than any other age demo
In 2018 over 37 million people age 25-64 were not in the labor force.
Not only did they have no jobs, they were not even counted as unemployed because they were not counted as part of the labor force either.
They literally do not count.
Here are the average millions in 2018 by age tranche who are not in the labor force:
25-34: 7.81 million
35-44: 6.95 million
45-54: 7.93 million
55-64: 14.76 million
65+: 41.25 million.
Approximately 32.2 million of these people do not yet qualify for Social Security, including 9.5 million of whom are 55-61.
And if you want to know why young people are living in their parents' basements in their 20s, you have your answer: Business has not hired the young and inexperienced and has fired the old and higher paid.
Nothing personal, right? Just business.
Effing libertarians.
For people who ought to be working, the rate of dropping out has been twice as high as the rate of joining in since 2000
And how can there be a labor shortage when population is increasing at a rate faster than assimilation to working?
Shut the borders! Turn off the immigration spigot!
