I do not conceed anything because I do not know what age groups are including in the figure.  The poster may be correct...I simply do not know.

I do know it is true that 92,000,000 Americans are "unemployed" if being unemployed means not having a job.  Will you conceed that most of those 92,000,000 are not working because that is their choice and in fact they are not looking for nor wanting a job?

If you go back to the 50's when a far smaller percentage of the women in this country were working or desirous of working you will find the percantage of the popululation in the same "unemployed" figure would be a lot higher than the 29.5% those 92,000,000 represent today.  Do you blame President Eisenhower for that FACT?

I do say again, this 92 million figure sounds shocking but is meaningless as an economic indicator unless you place the figure in context of what portion of the figure is happy about being "unemployed". Anyone who can't understand that FACT is indeed a moron!
