(99,705 posts)All Americans 16 years old and up: 253.9 million
Americans in the labor force with a job: 152.1 million
Americans in the labor force without a job: 8.0 million
That leaves 93.8 million Americans not in the labor force. But a lot of them are not in the labor force for understandable reasons.
44.0 million are retired.
15.3 million are disabled.
13.3 million are taking care of a family member.
13.2 million are in college or job training.
