Кога ще ги стигнем Американците? Истинското ниво на безработни в САЩ: В 20% от семействата ВСЕКИ е безработен
Michael Snyder, Activist Post
Според шокиращи нови данни, току-що публикувани от Бюрото за трудова статистика на САЩ (Bureau of Labor Statistics), 20 на сто от американските семейства нямат дори един член в семейството, който да работи. Така че, когато някой се опитва да ви каже, че нивото на безработица в САЩ е около 7%, може би просто трябва да се изсмеете [Във второто видео, малко след 50тата минута V твърди, че истинската цифра на безработицата в САЩ е 32%, или 100 милиона души]. Една пета от семействата в цялата страна няма и един член, който да не е безработен. Това е абсолютно изумително. Как може едно семейство да оцелее, ако никой не изкарвапари?
Ами, отговорът на този въпрос е всъщност доста прост. Има една причина, поради която зависимостта отправителството е достигнала епидемични нива в САЩ. Без достатъчно работни места още десетки милиони американци са били принудени да протегнат ръка към правителството за помощ. В този момент, вярвате или не, броят на американците, получаващи пари или други ползи от федералното правителство всеки месец, надвишава броя на работниците на пълно работно време в частния сектор с повече от 60 милиона души. /activistpost.com/
17 Facts To Show To Anyone Who Believes That The U.S. Economy Is Just Fine
No, the economy is most definitely not “recovering”. Despite what you may hear from the politicians and from the mainstream media, the truth is that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than it was prior to the last recession. The following are 17 facts to show to anyone that believes that the U.S. economy is just fine…
#1 The homeownership rate in the United States has dropped to the lowest level in 19 years.
#2 Consumer spending for durable goods has dropped by 3.23 percent since November. This is a clear sign that an economic slowdown is ahead.
#3 Major retailers are closing stores at the fastest pace that we have seen since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
#4 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. That means that one out of every five families in the entire country is completely unemployed.
#5 There are 1.3 million fewer jobs in the U.S. economy than when the last recession began in December 2007. Meanwhile, our population has continued to grow steadily since that time.
#6 According to a new report from the National Employment Law Project, the quality of the jobs that have been “created” since the end of the last recession does not match the quality of the jobs lost during the last recession…
- Lower-wage industries constituted 22 percent of recession losses, but 44 percent of recovery growth.
- Mid-wage industries constituted 37 percent of recession losses, but only 26 percent of recovery growth.
- Higher-wage industries constituted 41 percent of recession losses, and 30 percent of recovery growth.
#7 After adjusting for inflation, men who work full-time in America today make less money than men who worked full-time in America 40 years ago.
#8 It is hard to believe, but 62 percent of all Americans make $20 or less an hour at this point.
#9 Nine of the top ten occupations in the U.S. pay an average wage of less than $35,000 a year.
#10 The middle class in Canada now makes more money than the middle class in the United States does.
#11 According to one recent study, 40 percent of all Americans could not come up with $2000 right now even if there was a major emergency.
#12 Less than one out of every four Americans has enough money put away to cover six months of expenses if there was a job loss or major emergency.
#13 An astounding 56 percent of all Americans have subprime credit in 2014.
#14 As I wrote about the other day, there are now 49 million Americans that are dealing with food insecurity.
#15 Ten years ago, the number of women in the U.S. that had jobs outnumbered the number of women in the U.S. on food stamps by more than a 2 to 1 margin. But now the number of women in the U.S. on food stamps actually exceeds the number of women that have jobs.
#16 69 percent of the federal budget is spent either on entitlements or on welfare programs.
#17 The number of Americans receiving benefits from the federal government each month exceeds the number of full-time workers in the private sector by more than 60 million.
Taken individually, those numbers are quite remarkable.
Taken collectively, they are absolutely breathtaking.
