Points On How Many Americans Are Unemployed

By Amy Peterson


Donald Trump was recently sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The thing that has been top of his agenda even during the campaign period is giving people jobs. The rate of people without jobs has grown slightly higher according to the department of numbers but the question remains how many Americans are unemployed and what are some of the reasons.

If one was to look at the group of people between 18-40 years are very few in the job market. This is the group that is termed to be more active in helping in economic growth. However the older generation has chosen to stay home and take care of their families while the young ones are focusing on furthering their studies instead of tarmacking.

Most youths who have gone for further studies are doing so due to fear of remaining without jobs. The number of dropouts also keep on raising each year because a lot of people are not satisfied with the kind of jobs that they are doing. Sometimes these dropouts too are not counted among the people without jobs therefore making it hard for the exact number to be collected.

Most people do not have jobs because the opportunities available for them are weak therefore they choose to not to work and not to look for a job. These people are classified as the missing workers and make up the biggest number of individuals without jobs. They do not have a job and make the least effort in moving out of their cocoon.

This category make the largest percentage and in categorizing them one should look at the age and gender to get specific percentage. The huge pool of persons in this category shows the weakness of job opportunities which in return weakens the economic growth. It is a strong group that would affect the rate at which economic levels improve.

People who contribute greatly to creation of jobs are those with personal businesses however they are the same ones being pushed out of the business. People with the part time jobs also are somehow counted as those without jobs. If they were given an opportunity to work on full time basis they would definitely go for it.

There is that group of people that has been looking for jobs for way too long and have been termed as long term jobless people. By long term it means a person who has been looking for a job without succeeding for over one year. Most people in this category are the people in the middle class. They end up not moving forward thus the economy remains stagnant.

Giving the exact number of people without jobs could be difficult because it cuts across all ages. However figuring out the issues leading to the rise is better as it will help job provides and the government look at this issue at a different perspective. This in return weakens the economy of the country making it not perform well economically.
