There were one in five families in the United States in 2015, or 19.7
percent, in which no one in the family worked, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“Families are classified either as married-couple families or as
families maintained by women or men without spouses present,” explains
the bureau. “Families include those without children as well as those
with children under age 18.”
There were 81,410,000 families in the United States in 2015. Of
those, there were 16,060,000 families in which no member was employed,
or 19.7 percent of the total.
The number has remained relatively steady since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking this data since 1995.
That year, the percent of families in which no one had a job was 18.8 percent. The percentage hit an all-time high of 20.2 percent in 2011. It held steady at 20 percent in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, it declined to 19.9 percent and in 2015 it declined again to 19.7 percent.
According to the bureau, an individual is counted as employed if they
did any work at all in the survey reference week as paid employees,
worked in their own business, profession or on their own farm, or worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a
member of the family.
The 19.7 percent of families in which no one was
employed means they could have either been unemployed or not in the
labor force (for example, married retirees).

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
