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" 13.05%;   "Asians" 6.76%;   "whites" 76.27%;   "Hispanics"/"Latinos" 18.33%.

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) = 48.707M

native, non-institutionalized population 16 years old and older = 220.756M

civilian, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older (CivPop16+) = 269.463M

foreign-born as percentage of CivPop16+ = 18.08%

natives as percentage of CivPop16+ = 81.92%
 

percentage of foreign-born, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 63.3%

percentage of native, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 59.2% (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 24.3 weeks (about 5.6 months), as compared with the best on record since 1948 of 6.6 weeks; while the
Median duration of unemployment is 11 weeks (about 2.5 months), 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 25.5 weeks (about 5.9 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 8.5 weeks;     while the current
Median is 12.1 weeks (over 2.8 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 4 weeks.
From what I've read (news articles, conversations with reporters, "human resources" professionals discussions, etc.), many giggers/ bodyshops/ staffing services/ PEOs and real employment agencies categorize everyone unemployed longer than about 4 weeks (it is tunable; you can set it for 6 months or 12 months or whatever) 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 digitized, data extracted by parsers, seen (nor heard of) by an honest 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 who have been admitted, etc.

October

U-1 unemployment rate was 1.6%.

U-2 unemployment rate was 1.9%.

U-3 unemployment rate was 4%.

U-4 unemployment rate was 4.2%.

U-5 unemployment rate was 4.9%.

U-6 unemployment rate was 7.4%.

unemployment rate for those seeking full-time work was 3.9%.

unemployment rate for those seeking part-time work was 4.5%.

unemployment rate for men was 4.1%.

427K 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;    
4.133M want employment now but are not employed,
1.615M 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)";   &
234K men are classified by BLS as "Not in labor force - Want a job now, Marginally attached, Discouraged workers, Men", "Discouragement over job prospects (believes no job 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 47.1% (was 60.7% in 2023 July; was 52.9% in 2006 July; minimum on record since 2006 May was 42.6%; maximum=best since 2006 May was 54.1%).

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 70.9% in 2024 November (best since 1992 January was 79.8%, but trending down);  
for those with some college were 60.7% in 2024 November; (best since 1992 January was 73%, but trending down);  
for those with a HS diploma were 54.3% in 2024 November; (best since 1992 January was 63.5%, but trending down);  
for those without a HS diploma were 44.8% in 2024 November; (best since 1992 January was 45.7%, but trending very gradually up).

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).

For 20-24 year olds aggregate employed ÷ population ratio is at 66%
25-29 year olds it's 79.7%
30-34 = 80.9%
35-39 = 82.2%
40-44 = 81.7%
45-49 = 80.7%
50-54 = 79.1%
55-59 = 72.4%
60-64 = 57.1%
65-69 = 32.2%
70-74 = 18.3%
75+ = 9.22%
Those should all be 5-15 percentage points higher. Employers should be actively seeking people out, training people, relocating people as demand levels and operations shift from place to place within the USA.

more suspiciously anomalous vote counts suggest corruption
"...In Arizona, Kari Lake allegedly lost to Rep. Ruben Gallego by about 81K votes, even though voters around the state frequently admitted to pollsters they had no idea who he was. He even out-performed K. Harass by almost 100K votes despite his lack of name recognition. In contrast, the unknown Green Party Senate candidate, Eduardo Quintana, received about 75K votes. This was shocking considering he received 4 times as many votes as well-known Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who has run for that office for many years. She received only about 18K votes...
The Green Party only had 4,187 registered voters at the time of the election. Let's compare it to the Libertarian Party, which has a significantly larger presence with about 7 times as many voters, 31,132. Yet the Libertarian Party candidate in 2022, Marc Victor, who is fairly well-known in the state for a third-party candidate, only received 53,762 votes that year. The state hasn't tilted left since 2020; Republican voter registration has increased to an almost 6% advantage since then..."

hacked corporate data shows that H-1b guest-workers are paid less
"...Computer hacking at the professional-services firm Deloitte provided the data for a new study of H-1B wages at that company. Lo and behold, this study found that Deloitte pays its [newly-hired] H-1B workers 10% less than... peers. This is consistent with the H-1B program’s statutory intent of replacing USA citizen workers with cheap foreign workers."
2024-09-26: Thomas Bourveau, Derrald Stice, Han Stice & Roger White: Springer: Journal of Business Ethics: H-1B visas and wages in accounting: evidence from Big 4 pay-roll and the ethics of H-1B visas
"...our results are at least consistent with the pattern predicted by H-1B critics... controlling for office size and growth, U.S. citizen new hires are paid slightly more in offices that have recently hired an H-1B visa holder in a peer role... Broadly, our empirical approach relies on matching newly-hired H-1B visa holders to other new hires by office location (e.g., Dallas, Chicago, San Diego), position (Staff, Senior Associate, Manager), service line (tax or audit), and start date (year-quarter)... the data were hacked and publicly released by the hackers in 2014 December [STEM ancient history]..."

eliminate the "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau"; stop the targeting of honest, hard-working USA citizens, and go after the fraudsters, instead
"...The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, may have a fancy name that suggests it is there to protect Americans, but nothing could be further from the truth. The CFPB performs essentially the same function as the Federal Trade Commission, albeit with far less oversight or accountability, and reports more than $428M spent on annual salaries and benefits for 1,600 employees. In 2023, the CFPB’s total net cost of operations ballooned to over $2.7G, constituting a staggering 166% increase from the year prior..."

retired congressional staffer & immigration judge Andrew R. Arthur _Center for Immigration Studies_
the source of the delegated power to regulate immigration, description of the inspection & admission process, likely effects of deportations of invaders & other illegal aliens
Notice that he has a tendency to refer to sections of the law in terms of the bills enacted by congress, some of which he participated in drafting, rather than by where they ended up in the USA Code (e.g. title 8 USC 1182 is the same as INA section 212(a); 8 USC 1227 is INA section 237(a); 8 USC 1225 is INA section 235; 8 USC 1357 us INA section 287).
"DHS OIG analyzed CBP data and concluded that nearly 209K of the just over 264,550 initial users (79%) gave the same intended address in the United States of America as at least one other user, «despite appearing to be unrelated». If that's not suspicious enough, DHS OIG identified 7 individual U.S.A. addresses that nearly 1,700 different app users had claimed as their intended destinations...
Based on statistics from the [monthly] Current Population Survey, however, my colleague Steven Camarota estimates that the total population of aliens unlawfully present in the United States of America was 13.7M of January, and likely currently stands at or above 14M. Moreover, according to the ICE Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2023 [which ran from 2022 October 01 through 2023 September 30], as of 2023 October 3, there were 1,292,830 aliens on the agency's non-detained docket who were under final orders of removal..."

Florida v. U.S., No. 3:21-cv-01066-TKW-EMT, Opinion and Order, at 91 (N.D. Fla. 2023 Mar. 8) T.K. Wetherell ii presiding
2024-07-22: Jeffrey S. Passel & Jens Manuel Krogstad: Pew Research: what we know about illegal aliens living in the USA... not much, but a lot of better or worse guesses
2024-09-27: Sahana Mukherjee & Jens Manuel Krogstad: Pew Research: USA citizens differ on deportations, mass deportations, generally favor more border & port security
Most USA citizens favor limited guest-work & immigration of those with high skill LEVELS (a skill category does not constitute a high nor low skill level, and academic credentials don't constitute skill levels either);
excessive student & guest-work & immigration visas with intentionally ineffectual screening have made life worse;
10K-20K visitors + students + guest-workers + immigrants would be more than enough to provide "diversity" & boost creativity.
USA also admits far too many un-screened, merely "processed" or data-base "checked" pseudo-refugees. We turned back far too many deserving genuine refugees in the past.
USA admitted orders of magnitude too many immigrants (green card/LPR) since the 1880s.
Census should collect statistics on how many citizens vs. non-citizen residents there are, kept separate from names, addresses, etc.
In 2032 April, BLS reported that 64.7% of non-natives and 59.6% of natives were employed.   In 2024 November, 63.3% of foreign-born and 59.2% of natives were employed.
In 2024 November, 64.9% of all civilian, non-institutionalized USA resident men 16 and older were employed, and 55.2% of women; 59.9% of the total. 58.6% of "blacks", 62% of "Asians", 59.9% of "whites", and 63.7% of "Hispanic"/"Latino" people were employed. USA has a dearth of about 22M-30M people employed (compared with historical maxima).
About 26.4M too many men are not employed. Too many "black", "white", "Asian", "Hispanic"/"Latino"... men are not employed.
Far too many USA citizens are not employed. Too many USA legal residents are not employed.

According to an analysis by the Spanish Instituto Juan de Mariana..."
