Complete Myth Of Low US Unemployment

[loveshiscountry]

The important thing being that these are people who CHOOSE not to have jobs for various reasons. Even if there were 100 million more jobs available in the economy, they would not accept one of them.

What reasons?

If people can afford to not work and choose not to, does that mean you have a bad economy?

Who says people can afford to not work?

Plenty of good jobs open at the TSA if anyone's looking

What reasons?

That was listed previously. Retirement. Going to school and not working while attending. Stay at home mothers and fathers. People not working so they can take care of family or relatives who may be disabled or ill.

Haven't we always had that?
More of the younger generation is going to school. Guessing a minute shift there.
Less stay at home moms and dads unless there has been a sudden shift i'm not aware of.
Life expectancy has slightly declined in "Murica the last few years and aren't a higher percentage of the older generation working because they can't afford to retire?
I'm guessing that technology/internets has allowed more disabled to work too.

The real money is in buying all the stuff the TSA workers boost.
