Seems this is why everyone has time to go out and do dumb shit cuz nobody is working so the only thing left to do is steal, rob, cause chaos and downright debauchery
The amount of people who are not in the labor force has continually increased and now it’s at 100 million people!
It looks shocking but when you measure as a % of population it normalizes.
In 1975 this represented 27.7% of US pop
In 2009 this represented 29.9% of US pop
In 2021 it represented 30.5% of US pop
Currently it’s 29.9% of US pop
