Titolo: Disoccupati negli USA

In the USA, 35% of healthy Americans ages 16-64 are unemployed, but what
does that word mean? Millions of women are unemployed as they choose to stay
home to raise families. Nevertheless, 25% of healthy American men ages 16-64
are unemployed, yet the U.S. Government reports an unemployment rate of just
8.1%.[1]
The 25% rate is from an annual federal survey last conducted in June 2008,
well before the current economic slump added millions to the �official�
unemployment rate of 8.1% for March 6, 2009. The 25% rate is the ratio of
healthy American men ages 16-64 not working. This is misleading because it
includes the two million Americans behind bars, while most 16 and 17-year
olds remain in school. It also includes millions of Americans who
voluntarily retire before age 65 and house-husbands who care for children
while their wife works.
Nevertheless, an honest man would count anyone who would like to work as
unemployed. The U.S. Government compiles data on these uncounted unemployed
Americans, but does not mention it in news releases. It can be found in
Table A-12 on the Department of Labor�s website where it shows an
unemployment rate of 16% for Feb. 2009.[2] It explains why these unemployed
Americans are not included in their official unemployment rate:
�Marginally attached workers are persons who currently are neither working
nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job
and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged workers, a
subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason
for not looking currently for a job. Persons employed part time for economic
reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had
to settle for a part-time schedule.�
In typical government doublespeak, it notes they are not �looking for work�
but want work and �have looked for work in the recent past.� As a result,
these people who want to work are not counted as unemployed. This 16% figure
does not include a few million Americans who excluded by the survey
parameters for these reasons:
-Students seeking work are never counted as unemployed. So anyone taking
college classes at night and seeking a full-time day job is not counted as
unemployed.
-Pensioners seeking work are never counted as unemployed. This includes
those who receive a minimal monthly pension because they retired early,
often forcibly. Soldiers in the U.S. military can retire with a small
pension as young as age 37, yet they must find work to support their family.
However, they are classified as retired and not counted as unemployed.
-Anyone seeking a full-time job who works a few unpaid hours a week at a
family farm or small business is not counted as unemployed.
-People seeking their first job, such as recent high school and college
graduates, and housewives are excluded. The logic is that since they were
never employed, they are not unemployed.
These games allow the U.S. Government to report a current unemployment rate
of just 8.1%, even though its own data of unemployed Americans who want to
work indicates an unemployment rate of around 20%. This should concern all
Americans because the unemployed burden society by collecting welfare or
resorting to crime. A recent surge in Social Security Disability claims
indicates another path the desperate unemployed are seeking.
Almeno il 16%

 un fotomodello, ma la bellezza non basta a farne un presidente capace
neanche assomigliare a uno scimpanzè ubriaco ha fatto di lei un
presidente capace, eh...

 E meno male che c'e' la valvola volontari nell'esercito.
direi che per le vittime dei bombardamenti e torture "democratici" non
è proprio il male minore

 presidente capace, eh...

 Con me c’era la liberta’ di espressione
la libertà di espressione non cancella le porcate che hai fatto al
popolo americano in primis. Il 16% di disoccupati c'era a giugno 2008,
la crisi l'hai allevata e fatta scoppiare tu.-

beh sulla differenza tra tasso di disoccupazione e tasso di non
occupazione l'europa non fa una figura molto migliore...


Bona questa.
George come va nel ranch?
