150 Million workersOut of about 320 million (plus whatever illegals and others who didn't get counted) there are at least 150 million of them who work or want to work. The government statistics recognize 10% as being unemployed (15 million) but there are really 25% unemployed when those whose unemployment has expired, and those who work very little is added to their statistics. They don't count those. So there are 37,500,000 instead of 15,000,000 needing a full time job. Since there always are about 4-5% unemployed even in good times, we can say that a good number for the unemployed would be about 30,000,000 people. Several hundred thousand are still losing their jobs every month! Very few are being created. It is terrible that President Obama created such a catastrophe in just a few months! Even considering that it may take 5-10 years to find that many jobs, where would they come from even in that length of time? We better get busy hiring them for the military, setting up CCC camps, WPA camps. and schools for middle agers to teach them how to work again. |
