Well this certainly can't be the case...

The article's over a year old. Some of the comments are interesting.

You may have been tutored in economics, but math must not have been part of that.

Try checking with the US census bureau data before writing your bull shit.

2104 US population: 316,000,000

US population under 18: 23.5%

US population over 65: 13.7%

Sum those and you get: 37.2%

Multiply that times the total population of 316,000,000 and you get: 117,552,000

Subtract that from the total population and you get: 198,448,000

You say number working is: 144,586,000

The difference between those two is: 53,862,000

Now subtract off stay-at-home-moms: 5,000,000

And we get: 48,862,00

How many are disabled and cannot work?

How many are still in school after age 18 and not working?

THAT IS NOT 100,000,000. IT IS EASY TO SHOW YOUR NUMBERS ARE WAY OFF.

YOUR ECONOMIC BULL $H1T IS AS BAD AS YOU CLIMATE BULL $H!T, MR. HEARTLAND UNA BOMBER.

Yo, Peter. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ website contradicts your numbers. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm . The actual Bureau of Labor Statistics said employment was WAY up in almost all sectors. Look at the link. Who do you think we should trust: someone clearly partisan, or the government agency you reference (hoping no one would look it up, I suppose)?

Call this President a Muslim sympathizer. There are facts to back that up. There are many things he is. But employment has gone up according to the very agency you claim says 1/3 of the country’s out of work. Why do you lie? Why do you discredit Forbes that way? Go write for Republican party rags where they don’t look things up so long as the content is against the President. More people were out of work under George W. Bush than are out of work today. The economy’s in recovery, and…one can only guess you’re hoping people won’t double check you. Shame on you!

Abolish the Repatriation Tax (possibly the dumbest idea ever)

Abolish corporate taxes

Abolish tax breaks for foreign investment

Impose tariffs

Impose excise taxes


There ya' go -- problem solved. We'd be begging Mexicans to move here to fill all the open jobs.

One day you'll listen and learn.

My bad, there's not a chance in hell. That's why you live in shitholes.

Anyways,


California private-sector employers have added 1,802,800 jobs since February 2010, (the national low
point for private-sector employment).

Texas private-sector employers have added 1,525,500 jobs since February 2010.

California's unemployment rate of 6.9% is down from a high of 12.2%
Texas's unemployment rate of 4.4% is down from a high 8.4%

Both states are doing well. The US economy is expanding nicely with low inflation. Corporate profits and the stock market continue to grow at record levels.

However, new unemployment claims in the most recent month are up 7.0% in Texas as the effect of lower oil prices begins to ripple through their economy, while California's new unemployment claims continue to decline as lower oil prices strengthen our economy. The ending of the labor dispute on West Coast (mostly California) ports will further boost California's economy as will the upcoming summer travel season.

Selling wind chimes at Ren fairs is not what most people classify as being gainfully employed

Well, there you go...

most people... also don't live in the most affluent region of the United States.



The wealthiest people in America live in these states and cities


Of course, California dominates this category... but, what is mind blowing is how many rich people "per capita" live in "Baghdad" compared to the rest of the country.


Remember, San Francisco comes in 2nd to New York city... only because New York has more than 10 times the population of San Francisco.


P.S.... San Francisco also has more wealthy people then LA... and LA has also has 10 times the population of San Francisco.


This is what happens when you have a highly educated populace... combined with extremely intelligent people that think "outside" the box.
