Re: Almost 1/3 of working age men don't work

Several ways: 1) Live off mom and dad 2) crime (drugs , etc) 3) Live on disability from the tax payer dollars because they once sprained an ankle or something. 4) work for cash under the table to supplement all the government freebies.

I kind have done 1 in a way. I have a few a restaurants and an annuity, but without them I would have nothing. Family is important. I wish the same on others.

A couple things sticks out
1 - it starts at 16. I know tons of 16-18 that never had a job. I knew plenty of people at Clemson 18-22 that never had a job.
2 - it ends at 64. Both my parents and my in laws retired before 64.
I think this data would be much more useful if they did 25-60 or 25-55. Prime working years.
And I do know two in that age range who are capable but drawing permanent disability.

Green Card and pay taxes for 7 years or so …

Immigration Visas with follow through on Green Card.
Recruit foreign STEM college graduates especially with PhDs … China is outpacing the US in PhDs at a rate of 3 or 4 to 1.

Is this number normalized with the discrepancy in population size.
If so, yikes.
If not, then well yea... China's total population outnumbers us at a rate of 4 or 5 to 1.

Immigrants have historically been vital to the US labor force.
Something to consider…

I was not aware that there was a requirement to work in this country. Just ask my boss, he has not done squat in 3 years.

He should just give the business to you and free up the rest of his time.

It should be easy to out compete a company that has to pay for a boss that doesn't work
