The number of Americans designated as “not in the labor force” in February was 89,304,000, a record high, up from 89,008,000 in January, according to the Department of Labor. This means that the number of Americans not in the labor force increased 296,000 between January and February.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) labels people who are unemployed and no longer looking for work as “not in the labor force,” including people who have retired on schedule, taken early retirement, or simply given up looking for work.

The increase marks the second month in a row, after rising in January from 88.8 million in December. Those not in the labor force had declined in December from 88.9 million in November.

Record 89,304,000 Americans 'Not in Labor Force' -- 296,000 Fewer Employed Since January | CNS News

89 million not in the labor force = 29%, give or take, assuming the US population is 310,000,000 + official unemployment 7.7%

unemployment rate only counts people who are recieving unemployment benefits..



thats why it funny when they say "oh! the unemployment rate dropped from 7.9% to 7.8%!

when in reality the unemployment numbers decline becuse of thoses who have exhausted there unemployment benefits and are no longe counted in the unemployment statistic
