168M employees / 340M people in the US.

Means 51% unemployed people.

Raw figures



> Raw figures

sure, for an upper bound.

how many of those 340M people are actually employable? how many are children? how many are retired? permanently unable to work?

subtract those out, it’s a better upper bound but still a swag

then add in all the self-employed, your swag is a little better, still a swag

your throwaway name is apt and funny


That’s the point of raw figures.

You are asking for not raw figures.

But if you do the math and subtract out another 75-100M it’s still very bad


Only if you count my eight year old as “unemployed.”

I replied to what I replied to. You made a statement. Your statement is only true if my eight year old counts as unemployed. Where's the problem?
