The Real Numbers: JANUARY, 2025



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 101.9% 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 $150 Trillion from present $30.338 Trillion.


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.)

The official number reported by listed sources are (www.bls.gov):
0.143 Million more jobs, both part time and full time.


My number is 1.053 Million (both FT and PT) and labeled is known as

Not Seasonally Adjusted


MOST NOTABLE NEW NUMBERS:


An increase of 1.322 million full time jobs.


110.338 million ‘Idle’ Able, yet don't work PT or FT

– an all time record (unemployed plus ‘not in labor force’)


135.087 million working full time.


206.059 million Americans don't work full time.


178.799 million not working.


137.598 million able and not working full time.


101.9% potential increase of full time workers.


6.8% of ‘Idle’, are the only ones looking for work (1 of 14.8).


18.060 million 'Underutilized' versus 'Official' at 6.452 million and 9.755 million more.


Official number: 4.4%.


10.6% is the 'Real, Underutilized rate' and is 6.2% points higher than official and is
241.9% of official.


39.6% of all population work full time.


Employing Rate or Total Employing rate is 47.6% of population working including part time.


32.3% Population Idle.


Or 40.5% of Able are Idle (no job and not looking / searching).


Of Able, 49.5% working full time.


Total Underemployment Rate and Total Underemployment (6.452)


Plus Want A Job. (5.658 million)


Plus “Employed Part Time for Economic Reasons” (4.935 million)

WHEN WILL THESE NUMBERS BE SATISFACTORY?
When about 65% or more of 'Able' work full time.

When about 10% of 'Able' work part time not for economic reasons.
When about
5% of 'Able' are 'Unemployed'.
When less than
5% of 'Able' are 'Idle'.
When less than
5% of 'Able' work part time for 'Economic Reasons'.

When less than 5% of 'Able' Want A Job'.

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.
