164 million people employed in 2025 divided by 320 million people means 49% were not employed. Raw figures. The actual “unemployment” figure you hear is not raw figures, since you must exclude the 75 million children and elderly. But still, 33% in that case. The official figure you see excludes far more people from the counting to make it seem like only a tiny fraction of people are unemployed. They’ll say 4% or something. But in fact, about half of all people are not employed in the US.
