    Unemployed Americans increasingly abandoning job search

    November 16, 2014

    The latest job creation numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics fell short of experts’ expectations, and a growing desire among young Americans to simply not work is being blamed.

    Those latest Labor Bureau numbers suggest that slightly more than 92 million Americans, or 37 percent of the population over the age of 16, are neither employed nor unemployed. Last month, according to BLS, 85.9 million adults didn’t want a job now, or 93.3 percent of all adults not in the labor force. Indeed, the numbers show that there has been a 10 percentage point surge in 14-years’ time, during which millions of college-age would-be workers have chosen to not enter the work force whatsoever.
