A country where the people who by necessity must work to survive, draws from a much wider percentage of the populace those who have the ability to engender an entrepreneur culture... It's very easy in the USA to live off free government dole and so that enormous portion of the populace is effectively unmotivated to work at anything.... and I quote : "The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to produce it for him. The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more others have to carry their load."

- tomByrer 4y agoI had some co-workers quit because they did just fine without working (eg free housing). Some families are sticking with 1 income or 1.5 income earners after COVID19; they want to raise their own kids. Also, teens don't work at fast food joints & small companies like they used to to save up for collage or get their 1st car. Unemployment rate only looks at those 'looking for work'. Those who 'drop out of the labor force' are hard to account for.
