Yeah, I wrote 96 instead of 94 million.
But I’ll wait for the non-answer. And the inevitable trolls.
Because the number includes those still in school and those who are retired - roughly half that figure.
It also counts those who are living at home - non-working spouses maintaining households, or caring for family, etc.
So, it’s a BS metric, that’s supposed to scare people, when the reality is anything but.
The largest cohort of “not in the workforce” are not retirees but 16-19 year olds, in other words KIDS WHO ARE IN SCHOOL. That this age group is not working full time is not a bad thing.
