Record Number of Americans Not in Labor Force in June
July 3, 2014 - 8:48 AM
By Ali Meyer
(CNSNews.com) - The number of Americans 16 and older who did not participate
in the labor force climbed to a record high of 92,120,000 in June,
according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
This means that there were 92,120,000 Americans 16 and older who not only
did not have a job, but did not actively seek one in the last four weeks.
That is up 111,000 from the 92,009,000 Americans who were not participating
in the labor force in April.
In June, according to BLS, the labor force participation rate for Americans
was 62.8 percent, matching a 36-year low. The participation rate is the
percentage of the population that either has a job or actively sought one in
the last four weeks.
In December, April, May, and now June, the labor force participation rate
has been 62.8 percent.
Before December, the last time the labor force participation rate sank as
low as 62.8 percent was in February 1978, when it was also 62.8 percent. At
that time, Jimmy Carter was president.
At no time during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill
Clinton or George W. Bush, did such a small percentage of the civilian non-
institutional population either hold a job or at least actively seek one.
While the number of Americans not in the labor force increased, the
unemployment rate dropped -- from 6.3 percent in April to 6.1 percent in
June. | w*********e

在16岁至65岁左右更为合适.
