"There are currently 61.1 million American men in their prime working years, age 25–54. A staggering 1 in 8 such men are not in the labor force at all, meaning they are neither working nor looking for work.
This is an all-time high dating back to when records were first kept in 1955.
An additional 2.9 million men are in the labor force but not employed (i.e., they would work if they could find a job). A total of 10.2 million individuals in this cohort, therefore, are not holding jobs in the U.S. economy today. There are also nearly 3 million more men in this age group not working today than there were before the recession began," the Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee claim.
"Although defenders of the current economy attribute shrinking labor force participation to the increasing pace of retirement of the Baby Boomer generation, these new statistics above confirm a trend that Barron’s recently diagnosed:
'The ratio of those over 55 in the workforce actually ticked up'—in other words, older Americans are being forced to return to work in a poor economy to make ends meet while many younger Americans simply aren’t working at all.
In short, there is an unprecedented supply of working-age Americans who do not hold jobs."

The recovery is a lie and always has been, Brother. We are in a depression (my opinion). The real stats tell the truth, not the manipulated stats we get on MSM.
Following the headlines on shadowstats.com will help you see it (and recognize BS).

I saw this earlier and all I could think of was all the government stats say we are in recovery.. If I had to bet I would say the feel good stats are like many things put out for general consumption... All feel good with little substance to back up the claims.

Bilderberg wanted it this way. When you take a few steps back and look big picture it is very clear what is going on.
There has been a consistent nefarious effort to bring down the USA. when a country is targeted by others there are a few things done to 'soften' them up.
1. poor massive amounts of drugs into society -- check
2. flood the nation with disloyal immigrants to dilute and weaken culture/society -- check
3. collapse the economy -- check
4. offshore millions of jobs -- check
5. import millions of workers to lower the income -- check
the number of men out of work is a result of the war against the USA by the globalists. clear and simple.
ANYONE disputing this is a SHILL> or still asleep SHEEPLE.
