Chart of the Day: A record 92,269,000 Americans are not in the labor force...

Welcome to the entitlement state...

Via CNS:

91.5 million Americans have abandoned working for a living...

Democrats are most pleased. 

Via The Daily Caller:

A record high 91,541,000 Americans did not participate in the labor force this October.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 932,000 people dropped out of the labor force last month, from at total of 90,609,000 in September to 91,541,000 in October.
The BLS defines a person “[n]ot in the labor force” as age 16 and older who are not employed and not considered to be unemployed as they have not looked for work in the four weeks prior to the survey.

Obama drove 8.5 million workers out of the labor force in 4 years...

No wonder he wants to give amnesty to 11 million illegals. He has to find replacements somewhere...

Via Newsbusters:

The Bureau of  Labor Statistics released jobs numbers for January Friday showing that non-farm payroll employment increased by 157,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent.

Lost in these headline numbers was another rise in the number of people not in the labor force.

This number now stands at a staggering 89 million, up from 80.5 million when President Obama took office.

This means that there are currently 8.5 million more Americans not in the labor force than just four years ago.

Forget all the other numbers.

This continued explosion of people not in the labor force should be tremendously concerning as it represents an obstacle for the government to ever balance the budget without drastically raising taxes on those still working.
