RECORD 92,269,000 AMERICANS NOT WORKING
In August, the civilian
noninstitutional population was 248,229,000 according to BLS. Of that
248,229,000, 155,959,000—or 62.8 percent–participated in the labor
force, meaning they either had or job or had actively sought one in the
last four weeks.
The 92,269,000 who did not participate in the
labor force are those in the civilian noninstitutional population who
did not have a job and did not actively seek one in the last four weeks.
Because they did not seek a job, they did not count as “unemployed.”
24,639,000: Record Number of Foreign-Born Hold Jobs in USA
“The foreign born are those who
reside in the United States but who were born outside the country or
one of its outlying areas to parents who were not U.S. citizens,” the
BLS explains. “The foreign born include legally-admitted immigrants,
refugees, temporary residents such as students and temporary workers,
and undocumented immigrants. The survey data, however, do not separately
identify the numbers of persons in these categories.”
The 24,639,000 foreign-born
workers who held jobs in the United States in August was up 557,000 from
July, when 24,082,000 foreign-born workers held jobs. These are
non-seasonally adjusted numbers.
