300 "Bigben, you proved what I said. Those people are counted for labor force statistics (albeit in a negative capacity)." labor force - - - -"People not counted... discouraged workers who cannot find work."
I guess we can agree to disagree.
I learned this in college economics and it was quite a surprise to me at the time . I thought that they counted all unemployed but they don't.
300 - - -"Normally, the labor force of a country (or other geographic entity) consists of everyone of working age (typically above a certain age (around 14 to 16) and below retirement (around 65) who are participating workers, that is people actively employed or seeking employment. People not counted include students, retired people, stay-at-home parents, people in prisons or similar institutions, people employed in jobs or professions with unreported income, as well as discouraged workers who cannot find work." -- This is form Wikepedia which I generally frown on using but I think you'll find it consistent with most definitions of labor force.
"On a side note, if someone voluntarily quits looking for work, then f-uck 'em, they don't deserve any help. Anyone who's been out of work for 2 or 3 years isn't anyone deserving of sympathy." - - -I didn't anything about sympathy ect just the fact that the figures for unemployment are inaccurate and in fact they are.
blah , First it isn't about negativity it is about how the data is collected . None of what you posted takes into consideration that those who are not employed because they stopped looking for work are not included in any of these figures.
They are not included in gains, losses labor force, or any other measurement they are not included at all. This presents an inaccurate picture of real unemployment. That is all we are saying.It isn't an attempt to be negative it just is a fact.

I agree zorrogirl . My point is the more they contaminate the more expensive fresh water will be for everyone else. There is only so much fresh water around.
You can't find a regular sized toilet these days due to global regulations on wasting water but millions of gallons can be wasted on one well ? Logic where art tho ?

@ InterestedInAll "Unemployment numbers do not include those who have stopped looking for jobs, so they only tell part of the story."
You are correct.
