The Real Numbers: OCTOBER, 2024



Author's Comments: The point of these employment numbers is the P. P. C. is MULTIPLES of present GDP, I. E. tremendous slack in the economy. ‘Exploding’ the economy with my reforms is possible with the potential for 99.5% increase in full time workers and I don’t know how to calculate whether the G. D. P. could ‘explode’ by quintupling or more to about $105 Trillion from present $21 Trillion.

My number is 0.220 million (both FT and PT).


These are my private recalculations of employment numbers that changes the appearance of the official numbers.

Can this be my postmortem legacy for the future as I solved poverty and established the concepts of Star Trek Economics? (Right click only.)

WORST OF THESE NEW NUMBERS:


134.949 million working full time, a loss of 0.096 million full time jobs (-0.096)


202.251 million Americans don't work full time.


175.262 million not working.


134.221 million able and not working full time.


99.5% potential increase of full time workers.


107.232 million are 'IDLE'. Able, yet don't work PT or FT


6.2% of ‘Idle’, are the only ones looking for work (1 of 16.2).


16.207 million 'Underutilized' versus 'Official' at 6.631 million and 9.576 million more.


Official number: 3.9%.


9.6% is the 'Real, Underutilized rate' and is 5.7% points higher than official and is 244.4% of official.

My point: The U. S. Economy will dither for the coming years... and keep lumbering with onerous growth.


I suggest inflation is from destruction of Aggregate Supply from firms stopping operations. I. e. sudden increase in demand and decrease in aggregate supply.


A Conventional Solution:


Econoclasts: The Rebels Who Sparked the Supply-Side Revolution and Restored American Prosperity

With my reform, I envision a >50% increase in the workforce and much, much more for underdeveloped countries with e. g. 5% FTW. The economic system would require nearly all people to work and, expecting it to work as envisioned, there’d be massive labor shortages. In the system, it is THEFT to take any products without working for it. But when one works, he or she is entitled to the benefits of the economy. There would be every incentive to work and every disincentive not to work.


A real great bonus to the system is that there are no taxes; the government won’t have its hands in citizens’ pockets. The government will have priority to acquire products and merely takes products only out of the market.


If you see a metric that seems indicative, please Contact Me.
