Americans Not In The Labor Force Soar By 579,000 To Record 94.6 Million

Before you go around trying to make fun of others, it was your OP that claimed 94M were out of the work force.

 

What does me loving this country have to do with the awful labor force participation rate?

Besides, us on the right aren't the one's trying to change this country.

It's you extreme left wingers who constantly want to change this once great country of ours.

You lefties are pushing gay marriage down our throats, pushing socialized medicine on us, constantly trying to chip away at our 2nd Amendment rights, constantly bashing corporations and rich people, banning historical flags, and targeting Christians and conservatives with your jackbooted IRS thugs.

It is most evident that you and your lefty cohorts don't like this country. So, why don't you love it or leave it.

 

100,000 layoffs through April, and although it's slowed down since then, it hasn't stopped. That has made quite an impact.

 

the participation rate has been explained to you several times but you still twist reality. you need not have an opinion about gay marriaqe, just stay out of their way. no historical flag has been banned, that you just plain made up. no one is targeting christians or conservatives, again you make that up. No one is chipping away at the second amendment except to try and save lives. Obama got something done republican presidents have tried for years to get done, that is to say socialized medicine. you try to tear it down, even make stuff to tear it down so it is you sir that has shown a long and protracted dislike for America.

 

Lol, it's at an all time high... And when you add pensions, unemployment, Social Security, and Medicare to the mix, the percentage of Americans relying on government for part or all of their subsistence is 49.5% of the American population.

 

is there something wrong with being on Social Security, pensions or Medicare??????

 

They're the ones that are always crying about how horrible they're treated by everyone... His post contained record amounts of irony.

It doesn't amount for much. Less than 15%. Just throwing it out there because it involves a type of welfare.

 

You should do some reading before you call BS...http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate

 

It's you who and your ilk who have changed this country. The Native Americans lived under "primitive communism" which your kind overthrew and introduced the bourgeois concept of "private property." The Indians looked around and said to themselves, How can these white men claim to own the land? Can they own the sun and the stars and the sea too???"

 

The stupid indians migrated here just like everyone else.

If they are too stupid to defend what they deem is rightfully theirs, then screw'em.

 

its pretty absurd and ignorant to call Social Security and Medicare a form of "Welfare".

these people worked their entire (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lives, paying into the Social Security Trust Fund and paying their Medicare taxes, and now that they are 65 they get to reap the rewards of their often 47 years of paying!!!!

a form of Welfare? you got to be kidding me.

 

A major misconception about food stamps, is that you don't have to work. And that is false. I would know because I qualified for it. You have to be bring in something. And if you're getting asstatice like SNAP, you're employed or under employed hence why they are giving you that. But here is a 20,000$ question, if the economy is so great and Obama is our saver, why is that there are more SNAP applications to HHS then ever before????

SS ISN"T WELFARE. Anyone who thinks is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot You earned that.

 

The flood of illegal immigration is what has reduced our pay.

Jobs up only for immigrants +14,000, down 262,000 for 'native-borns'

For a third month in a row, native-born Americans saw their job numbers tumble while immigrants experience solid gains.

According to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers just released, "foreign-born" jobs numbers increased by 14,000, while those for "native-born" Americans fell off a cliff, by 262,000.

Over the past three months, the job numbers for native-born have dropped by nearly 1 million, during that period, jobs for immigrants grew 218,000.

I agree.

the rich have seen their income increase greatly since 1970, but income for the middle class has stayed the same.

its due to corporate greed, not illegal aliens

 

No it hasn't. It's been falling like a rock.

 

err.....that's only since 2000.

add the previous 30 years, bro.

 

Where are our jobs? Employers are laying off Americans and hiring those flooding over our borders. Why? Because they work cheaper. Libs claim they are for open borders, higher wages and the tooth fairy.

Under Obama those flooding our borders have seen 17% job growth.
Those already here have seen 4% job growth.

But according to the unicorn theory of economics, the 17% job growth for the foreign born has no relationship to the only 4% job growth during Obama's entire presidency for the folks already here.

 

Illegal aliens don't get jobs at most American employers.

they get jobs at restautants and as construction laborers, and nannies and gardeners.

 

Those are American employers

 

Yep conservatives. They count children, baby boomers, an disabled(vets an non vets), sounds about correct. If your talking about the USA.

 

2016 is going to be a fun election for the Left.

 

No, that is not what is happening.

Labor force participation rate is dropping faster in the prime age for employment population than it is in the 55 and older group.

 

how can a participation rate be above 100%?

 

Yes. Let's give Chicago and Detroit back to the Indians. Have you stumbled over any new ideas in the 130 years since Engels offered up his claptrap about how humans went to the darkside during the Neolithic Revolution when we developed animal husbandry and agriculture?

The "progressives" want us to return to the conditions of 15,000 years ago and hunting and gathering, because 12,000 years ago we developed husbandry and agricultural and it's all been downhill ever since.

The "reactionary conservatives" on the other hand want to return to the conditions of pre-new deal less than a 100 years ago.

How about you both go stuff it and we move forward with US Liberal Constitutional Democracy in the 21st century and you stay the hell off my land, the hell out of my house and keep your hands the hell out of my stuff instead of pretending you are entitled to it because "primitive communism" of 15,000 years ago said it's okay for you to take what wasn't yours because you didn't "recognise private ownership". Which is probably horsecrap anyway. 15,000 years ago if you walked into someone else's cave and tried to take their stuff, I imagine your last thought as you were hit in the head with a club was "I bet this guy does recognise private ownership and he objects to me taking his stuff!"
