And how many won't read past the headline
In this age of short attention spans... headline writers largely control the message. In this case--the headline below from CNN Money--most will probably just see the headline and not read the story behind it. And GOPers will simply chalk it up to support their bullshit.
91 million Americans aren't looking for jobs
The unemployment rate isn't always the best measure of the job market, because it only includes people who have actively searched for work within the last four weeks. Many Americans just aren't looking for jobs.
In fact, about 91 million adult Americans don't work, and aren't looking for jobs. They make up 37% of the population -- the highest level on record since 1978.
Yes, some of them are workers who've been out of a job for so long that they've given up entirely.
But don't be too alarmed: In addition to discouraged workers, this group also includes people who are retired, enrolled in high school or college, and staying at home to take care of young children or elderly relatives.
