We are in trouble...
The population of this country is 300 million.
160 million are retired.
That leaves 140 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 55 million to do the work.
Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.
Leaving 15 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama
Bin-Laden.
Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city
Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work
You and me.
And there you are,
Sitting on your ass,
At your computer, reading jokes.
Nice, Real nice. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/dcarrie1007

that's 100% true there's a study done recently that shows we're about to hit record lows in the workforce, comparable to post WW2 before women entered the job market. Careers that're in the biggest demand, the skilled trades primarily plumbers, electricians, etc, as the majority are about to retire. IT oddly enough has too few as well. Fertility rates have also decreased so there won't be a need for a lot of jobs, just gotta trim the fat a bit and cut out jobs that aren't really important, primarily in the entertainment industry from what i understand |

At least partly because millions of workers in this country are illegal and paid under the table. |
