Those working and looking for Work in U.S.

According to U.S. Census figures when I am writing this the U.S. total population stands at 313,540,930

And the world population is a 7,013,248,646

At present the U.S. is between 4 and 5% of the world's population

Using present day figures if I take 8.9% of the U.S. population figure it is:27,905,143

This would be an estimate using present day population figures. To make it more accurate you would have to get the population in the U.S. in 2000 compared with today and it would be more complicated than what I chose to do. However, 8.9% of the U.S. population is 27,905,143 and this is an estimate of the jobs both lost overseas, to the recession downturn and to technological advances just here in the U.S.

Working public drops from 67% to 58.4%
Above is another article I quoted and then commented on this subject

The 67% figure is actually more than that because I rounded it down because it was about 67.3% or something like that because the difference was 8.9% in those working or looking for a job population wise across the whole U.S. between 2000 and 2012.

Since High School Students graduating and College Students Graduating are constantly adding to the job pool this becomes more and more problematic by the year.

And since 350,000 people gave up looking for work in the last year out of hopelessness of finding a job our real unemployment figures are much worse than what the government says because of this.

I don't  personally blame either the Bush Administration or the Obama Administration for this almost 28 million job loss in the U.S. since 2000. Instead I blame it on  the 9-11 event itself and the worlds reaction to it combined with advances in technology and China being positioned to take up a lot of the labor slack at lower wages than almost any other nation could. But that is all changing now. The other culprit in all this is globalization through the Internet which has put many many businesses out of business like Borders, Circuit City, Mervyn's and many many others.

The real problem is that jobs likely will not be coming back to the U.S. because of technological advances worldwide and the changing dynamics everywhere on Earth.

This is far more serious in the long run than most people realize at present. Because what this will mean is large companies buying technology and not hiring people. And this will also mean that a percentage of people that can't get jobs turning either to revolution or crime or both when they Never can find a job that pays enough to get married and raise a family. So, this is a very serious social problem worldwide. And outside of the Great Depression I can't remember anything quite like it unless we go back further than 100 to 150 years. So, the social consequences of all these changes will define the rest of this century. So, even if politicians refuse to deal with these real problems the rest of us must in order to prevent bloody revolutions worldwide eventually. So, possibly it is important to help people understand just what is happening so they can find ways to survive all this worldwide.
