There are roughly 74.9 million baby boomers. Then you have approximately 75.4 million Millennials. Big groups that can sway the election. But how many people are not in the labor force? You have a whopping 94.2 million adult Americans that are not in the labor force. In other words the largest voting bloc of adults is going to be a group that isn’t employed. So think about what issues are going to matter to this group. It is a given that a large part of this cohort comes from older Americans. Those that are concerned with healthcare and Social Security. But you have many in this subsection of America that would like to work but simply cannot find work. We are talking about millions here. So it will be interesting to see how this group will vote one month from now.
The not in the labor force cohort
I still find it hard to believe that so many Americans just don’t know about this giant group of people in our population. It is a hidden majority. These numbers are not some sort of fabrication but come directly from the government’s own data.

Interesting. I hope Trump specifically and publicly goes after this demographic to get their vote. It could potentially erase any voter fraud effort by the Rats.
I get the point and pray you’re right, but remember that a big part of that number are people who love riding the Free Sh!t Express and don’t think Trump wants to keep that going
The vast majority of these “free riders” are retired. They have no intention of rejoining the labor force. Others are in college, or housewives, or on disability (legitimately).
The 94 million number is bogus. That said, there are a lot of people who have quit looking for work who are employable, and willing to become employed. But the 94 million number is a joke, one introduced about 7 years ago.
Every one of them should vote for Trump!
that number has been around for a while, but it’s still shocking to see every time. And you know it’s artificially low, like the 10-12 million illegals living in the US.
Thanks for the insight, Norseman! I fell ferdat number!
That’s a high number. It sounds like no adults are working.
“It could potentially erase any voter fraud effort by the Rats.”
Not so, sorry to say. If the fraud is electronic, then it is perpetrated AFTER the votes are cast and before they are counted. Let’s say the tally machines are given a command line to change 4 out of 5 R votes to D. Then, if the entire hundred million voted for Trump, eighty million of them would have their votes awarded to Hillary! Think it can’t happen? Check out Philly’s vote count in 2012. Not one vote for Romney in all 19 precincts. NOT ONE!
On top of that, my experience with people on the government dole is that they tend to vote for the candidate that promises more handouts.
