The unemployment rate increased from 6.1 percent in June to 6.2 percent in July.
(CNSNews.com) – 11.4 million Americans age 16 and over have left the workforce since President Obama took office in January 2009, according to data released today from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
In July 2014, there were 92,001,000 Americans, 16 and over, who were classified as “not in the labor force,” meaning they not only did not have a job, but they didn’t actively seek one in the last four weeks.
This number has increased by 11,472,000 since January 2009, when the number of Americans not in the labor force was 80,529,000.
The number of Americans not in the labor force dropped slightly in July, down 119,000 from the 92,120,000 Americans not in the labor force in June.

I don’t remember seeing this on the national news. That’s weird.
Wish they could count the number of us hanging on by the skin of our fingernails, taking anything we can get in order to stay housed and fed.
Think this will at least guarantee that we won’t elect another dog-eater for president?
That’s funny, I hear everyday on the radio at the top of the hour, how the economy has turned the corner and is doing swell. Swell rhymes with hell…
…unexpectedly…

With half the country on the dole plus 10 million chilishitters added I doubt it.
We’re screwed. End of story.
In the early 90’s I heard Peter Jennings call 30 million NRA members “an insignificant minority”. (Uh, what percentage of America was that?)
I’d let 11 mil slide and make them acknowledge the real figure of 20% unemployment.
That’s great. Will give all the unemployed time to take care of all the illegals. Did I mention how much I detest the prezzie?
