The number of workers taking federal disability insurance payments
hit yet another record in July, increasing to 8,753,935 during the month
from the previous record of 8,733,461 set in June, according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration.
The 8,753,935 workers who took federal disability insurance payments
in July exceeded the population of 39 of the 50 states. Only 11
states—California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey—had more people
in them than the number of workers on the federal disability insurance
rolls in July.

I wish someone would do a chart showing all the people on disability, welfare etc vs the people that are actually working.
ReplyDeleteWhen you take out all the children under 18, the retirees, the people in prison, the ones on disability, the politicians, the government employees and the ones on unemployment it leaves about 35,000 people left to do the work.
