One in Third of Americans is unemployed!87,897,000 Americans not in the labor force.(Breitbart).By Winton Hall.Amid disappointing unemployment numbers that fell 80,000 jobs short of projections, another number is raising eyebrows: the number of Americans not in the labor force has hit a record high 87,897,000.
