What percentage of Americans are employed?

Answer 1

"today on 09/22 the umployment rate is 6.1% ..... the oposite is ur answer" No that's an inaccurate statement. The unemployment figure as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is defined as: "People who are jobless, looking for jobs, and available for work are unemployed." http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htmTherefore you don't get the total employed number by the inverse of the unemployment number. There's lots more unemployed people who are not looking for jobs that don't count in the computation. You have to go directly to the BLS website to find the employment figures. I hope this makes sense.
