Today's Math Lesson For The One, LittleTimmy, And Helicopter Ben

What's 522, 000 minus 115,000?

That would be 407,000, the net loss of individuals from the US workforce in April 2012.

In April, about 522,000 Americans left the labor force, making the addition of 115,000 jobs look all the more alarming. In 2011, about 2.7 million Americans left the work force while only 945,000 came in.

So, what's  2.7 million minus 945,000?

That would be 1,755,000, the net loss of individuals from the US workforce in 2011.

So, what's 14.5 minus 8.1?

That would be the total percentage of unemployed (including those who have given up) minus the 'official' unemployment rate in April 2012. 6.4% of the entire US workforce.

Having 6.4 percent of the nation’s employable adults out of economic circulation is big trouble. For older adults in that category, they may never be able to return to work. For younger adults, it means a lifetime of lower wages and slower advancement if they eventually get back in the hunt and find a job.

That math he understands, cause it's all about Him.
