employment dearth "Asians" = 0.264M(264K)
employment dearth "whites" = 10.083M

For "black" men, the employed ÷ population ratio (employment rate or work rate) is at about 62.644%.

For "Asian" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 70.553%.

For "white" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 66.253%.

For "Hispanic"/"Latino" men, the employed ÷ population ratio (employment rate or work rate) is at about 73.392%.

The number being gigged/ temped/ contingently employed/ on short-term contract/ consulting/ scrabbling,   the number seeking real/ "traditional" long-term employment and   the number of real/ traditional long-term jobs employers are seeking to fill are not reported.

BLS does not track the numbers gigged, temped, bodyshopped, on contract, contingent or consulting positions who would prefer "real", "traditional", long-term employment... though about once every 15-25 years someone writes an article for the _Monthly Labor Review_.

Men constitute 48.75% of the civilian, non-institutionalized population 16-years or older;   women 51.25%;   "blacks" 13.03%;   "Asians" 6.69%;   "whites" 76.35%;   "Hispanics"/"Latinos" 18.23%.

In 1850 (the year before the American Party, later called the Know Nothings) was founded, USA population foreign-born was 9.68%;   in 1860, 13.16%;   in 1870, 14.44%;   in 1880, 13.3%, by which time the USA frontiers were no more & we had begun to "in-fill", i.e. crowd, and thus should have begun trimming back immigration & student & guest-work visas;   in 1890, 14.77%;     in 1900, the percentage of population foreign-born was 13.6%;   in 1910, 14.7%;   in 1920, 13.2%;   in 1930, 11.6%;   in 1940, 8.8%;   in 1950, 6.9%;   in 1960, 5.4%;   in 1970, 4.7%;   in 1980, 6.2%;   in 1990, 7.9%;   in 2000, 11.1%;   in 2001, 11.38%;   in 2002, 11.5%;   in 2003, 11.7%;   in 2004, 11.8%;   in 2005, 12.1%;   in 2006, 12.1%;   in 2007, 12.6%;   in 2008, 12.5%;   in 2009, 12.2%;   in 2010, 12.9%;   in 2011, 13%;   in 2012, 13.1%... 14.3% (47M) in 2022 April... projected by census bureau to be 15.2% by 2030, 16.1% by 2040.

foreign-born, non-institutionalized population 16 years old and older (both citizens & non-citizens) = 48.327M

native, non-institutionalized population 16 years old and older = 220.317M

civilian, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older (CivPop16+) = 268.644M

foreign-born as percentage of CivPop16+ = 17.99%

natives as percentage of CivPop16+ = 82.01%
 

percentage of foreign-born, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 64.1%

percentage of native, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 59.5% (down from record high of 88.2% in 1929 January, 81.3% in 1939 January, 81.6 in 1948 January. 80.8% in 1949 January,   & up from the record worst since 2007 of about 51.2% during the Wuhan disease hysteria lock-downs).


 

Average duration of unemployment while actively seeking work is 19.6 weeks (about 4.5 months), as compared with the best on record since 1948 of 6.6 weeks; while the
Median duration of unemployment is 8.7 weeks (about 2months), as compared with the best on record since 1967 of 3.6 weeks.  

Average duration of unemployment while actively seeking full-time work (gigs/temp/contingent/contract or long-term) is 20.2 weeks (about 4.6 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 8.5 weeks;     while the current
Median is 9.3 weeks (over 2 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 4 weeks.
From what I've read (news articles, "human resources" professionals discussions, etc.), bodyshops/ staffing services/ PEOs/ and employment agencies categorize everyone unemployed longer than 4 weeks as "hard core unemployed" or "unemployable", refuse to consider placing them.   They have their screening software send such resumes directly to the trash-bin, never to be seen (nor heard of) by an employment broker or hiring manager.   And then they claim there are no "qualified" (wink wink nudge nudge) job-seekers.   But it is sooooo "efficient"... well, aside from all that wasted talent and productivity. So, the estimated current duration of unemployment while seeking long-term employment ranges from 3 weeks to 30 years, depending on field of work, numbers of cheap, pliant, low-skilled guest-workers with flexible ethics have been admitted, etc.

July

U-1 unemployment rate was 1.5%.

U-2 unemployment rate was 2.1%.

U-3 unemployment rate was 4.5%.

U-4 unemployment rate was 4.8%.

U-5 unemployment rate was 5.4%.

U-6 unemployment rate was 8.2%.

unemployment rate for those seeking full-time work was 4.4%.

unemployment rate for those seeking part-time work was 5.2%.

unemployment rate for men was 4.3%.

-------- LEFT OFF HERE 2024-08-02T14:30 -----------More updates next week---------------

449K are classified by BLS as "marginally attached to the labor force", want employment, searched for work, but no available work was found, and thus are discouraged;     5.950M want employment now but are not employed, 1.628M are classified by BLS as "want a job now, available to work now, marginally attached to the labor-force, searched for employment in the previous year (believe no employment is available)";   & 282K men are classified by BLS as want a job now, marginally attached to the "labor force", discouraged over employment prospects (believe no employment is available)"... so even some people who ARE "actively seeking work" are classified by BLS as "not in the labor force" (NILF) and "NOT actively seeking work", thus muddying the waters, ambiguating, fogging, blowing smoke, obfuscating, misleading, disinforming, deceiving.

For veterans, the employed ÷ population ratio (employment rate or work rate) is at about 46.2% (was 60.7% in 2023 July; was 52.9% in 2006 July; minimum on record since 2006 May was 42.6%).

It is also interesting that the employed ÷ population per-centages for those with at least the equivalent of bachelor's degrees, those with some college, & those with HS diplomas or equivalent have been falling for several decades, while the employed÷population per-centages for those without a HS diploma have been generally rising.   This is another case where it would have been nice to have such data going back to, e.g. 1900 to have decent base-lines, but what older statistics exist are incommensurable. (Employed ÷ population per-centages
for those with at least the equivalent of bachelor's degrees were 70.5% in 2024 July;  
for those with some college were 60.4% in 2024 July;  
for those with a HS diploma were 54.1% in 2024 July;  
for those without a HS diploma were 44.8% in 2024 July)

Neither the USA Department of Labor nor the Bureau of Labor Statistics track, & they seem not to be interested in, employer investment in training & relocation of talent within the USA (neither current nor changes over time), nor the intensity, effort, time, investment, etc. for recruiting vs. filtering out job-seekers... because it would be soooo difficult to add 2 questions to the on-line Establishment Survey (and 1 check-box to job sites)... as employers try to avoid hiring USA citizens, & lobby more for cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled (untested, unmeasured) foreign labor with flexible ethics (to tweak those privacy-violating apps, big data harvesting, and selective communications suppression & promotion gimmicks).

immoral tech tyrant election corruption continues
"...«This program will help eligible rural and non-metro election offices ⋘modernize⋙ ⋘outdated⋙ [i.e. less-easily cracked, manipulated] voting technology... make voting [corruption] smoother [and more concealed]»... The group was founded in 2012 by former staffers of the New Organizing Institute (NOI) [and since organizing equals intoxicating, a new intoxicating institute]."
If it's computer-based, especially if it is based on general-purpose computers running Windoze & other MSFT software it is more likely to be easier to abuse. Paper ballots under chain-of-custody processes with multi-partison oversight and sign-offs would be far more reliable, far more believabla.
