In 1 in 5 Families in the U.S., No One Works

 

In 2015, there were 16,060,000 families with no member employed
 

There were one in five families in the United States in 2015, or 19.7 percent, in which no one in the family worked, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 

“Families are classified either as married-couple families or as families maintained by women or men without spouses present,” explains the bureau. “Families include those without children as well as those with children under age 18.”

So they are retired?

Millionairrrrrrrres and billionarrrrrrres

Most interesting stat is the article is the fact the percentage has remained fairly stable since 1995.

It's a very misleading article.  Our resident illegal alien moderator pointed out that it's been pretty stable since 1995.  The "families" also represent retired people with no children living in the household among other things.
