THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS NOT EVEN LOOKING FOR WORK AND NOT IN THE LABOR FORCE REMAINS UNDER 100 MILLION UNDER THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS REIGN - AS THE MSM DOES THE WHITE WASH THAT ALL IS WELL IN MUDVILLE - 94,517,000 AMERICANS NOT IN LABOR FORCE

There were 94,517,000 Americans not participating in the labor force in June, a decline of 191,000 people from the previous month, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.

The bureau counts those not in the labor force as those who do not have a job and did not actively seek one in the past four weeks.

The labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of the population that has a job or actively looked for one in the past month, increased from 62.6 percent in May to 62.7 percent in June.

There was a record-high number of women 16 years and over not participating in the labor force in June. There were 56,855,000 women not in the labor force in June, an increase of 130,000 from the previous month. Their participation rate declined from 56.7 percent in May to 56.6 percent in June.

The unemployment rate for all Americans and for women increased from 4.7 percent in May to 4.9 percent in June. This measure does not account for those individuals who have dropped out of the labor force. The unemployment rate simply measures the percent of those who did not have a job but actively sought one over the month.
