"Nearly four in 10 Americans, or 92 million, are not in the labor force and now there’s a reason why: They have simply given up and don’t want to work.

 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the largest group of people not in the labor force are those who don’t want a job, a remarkable statement on the nation’s work ethic. The federal job counter said that 85.9 million adults last month didn’t want a job, or 93 percent of all adults not in the labor force.

 

A Pew Research Center analysis out Friday dug a bit deeper to find out who those people are. Many are younger Americans who seem far less interested it landing a job than previous generations, possibly discouraged by the lack of good-paying jobs.

 

Pew said that 39 percent of 16- to 24-year-olds don’t want to work, up from 29 percent in 2000.

Women especially don’t want a job, but men have similar feelings.

 

“Women are more likely than men to say they don’t want a job, although the gap has been narrowing — especially since the Great Recession. Last month, 28.5 percent of men said they didn’t want a job, up from 23.9 percent in October 2000 and 25.2 percent in October 2008. For women, the share saying they didn’t want a job hovered around 38 percent throughout the 2000s but began creeping up in 2010, reaching 40.2 percent last month,” said the Pew analysis"

Democrat's breed dependancy upon the state for support -- with the above results.  Combine the dependancy syndrome with the miserable recovery caused by Democrat actions.

Dire, I may not have agreed with you, but you used to post better. You might ought to see a doctor and find out if blood flow to you brain has been restricted. There's a problem somewhere.

First JT, do you have an argument with the polls results?  If not, what is the reason for so many have reached such a conclusion.  Admittedly, the miserable recovery -- the worst since the depression hasn't helped.

No,  priss, the skies will not open and the heavenly hosts descend.  The present administration and the Fed have managed the worst recovery since the depression.  Predicted GDP increase for 2014 is 2 percent -- in every recovery before, we'd be experiencing 3.5 to 4 percent.  The best that one may expect is a lessening of damages -- keep the ship from taking on more water.

==================

Really, stealing from the ones that work is the Republican way? That's funny, seeing as how that is the democrats platform, and all they're interested in doing. Their motto. "they got it, we want it, take it from them and give it to us".

Stealing from productive workers leaves you democrats safe, because no matter how you dems see it, standing in the government give away lines is NOT a job.

Probably there aren't that many illegals with the skills to operate the heavy equipment or weld well enough to pass inspection; but some managers who supervise low skilled workers had better learn Spanish.
