[idan11]

 (CNSNews.com) - The number of Americans who are 16 years or older and who have decided not to participate in the nation's labor force has climbed to a record 90,609,000  in September, (кстати, на самом сайте даётся 90,632,000) according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The BLS counts a person as participating in the labor force if they are 16 years or older and either have a job or have actively sought a job in the last four weeks. A person is not participating in the labor force if they are 16 or older and have not sought a job in the last four weeks.
In January 2009, when President Barack Obama took office, there were 80,507,000 Americans not in the labor force. Thus, the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 10,102,000 during Obama's presidency.

Итак, за время царствования Обамы кол-во безработных (реальных, а не бумажных/официальных) возросло на 10 миллионов.
Это те, которые уже и не ищут работу, а также студенты/школьники после летних каникул/заработков.
