once again Republican losership snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by pre-emptively approving the big ugly pile of manure with few of the original benefits
Neil Munro: Breitbart: bill would have ended Medicaid for Illegal aliens; senate losership goes along with big ugly pile of manure, sends it back to House
Toss it out. Fire the "parliamentarian". Start over with more cuts in federal government spending. More incentives for USA employers to actively recruit, interview, train, relocate USA citizen employees (new-hires & retained) within the USA.

so many Illiberal Leftist/ Dem/ Red/ Regressive/ Socialist/ Fascist/ Nazi/ Marxist/ Communist/ Bolshevik/ Stalinist/ Maoist/ Collectivist/ Racist failures/disasters I can hardly keep track
"...It seems, for this crowd, as well as much of the UN and the EU, that doing anything more than nothing is to negatively disturb a delicate balance. The possibility of something bad completely drowns the effort to do anything good, the story of the impotent West for decades now. What kind of balance are you defending here, the right of Hamas or Hezbollah to periodically lob rockets at Israeli civilians? Is it your willingness to watch Iran enrich enough uranium to make an atomic weapon?
3%-5% U235 is needed to make a reactor, and 20% to make a research reactor, where a faster production of electrons makes experiments run faster. Anything beyond that is for a weapon. There is no other purpose. 90%-95% is needed for weapons grade uranium. Iran was at 83% enrichment when we attacked [their nuclear weapons labs & factories]..."

USA's blind spot
"Good-hearted Americans often cannot fathom the depths of depravity of their enemies.
Several rabbis have described the USA as «malchut d’chesed» which literally translates into «a kingdom of kindness». And there truly is something to be said of the United States of America in its very generous approach to both friends and foes. After virtually every natural disaster worldwide, [USA citizens] give generously to those harmed, while USA-based organizations are often among the first to arrive to provide immediate relief and assistance. After hurricanes and floods in the USA, individuals, organizations and corporations are oftentimes far more effective than the government in helping people in a meaningful way. How many houses did Amish groups build in North Carolina after the Biden FEMA fumbled its response to the disaster?
One of the challenges for people who are big-hearted is that they often do not suspect others of nefarious intentions..."

native, non-institutionalized population 16 years old and older = 224.45M

civilian, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older (CivPop16+) = 273.585M

foreign-born as percentage of CivPop16+ = 17.96%

natives as percentage of CivPop16+ = 82.04%
 

percentage of foreign-born, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 63.6%

percentage of native, non-institutionalized population 16 years and older who are employed = 59.1% (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 part-time or full-time, temporary or long-term work is 21 weeks (about 4.8 months), as compared with the best on record since 1948 of 6.6 weeks; while the
Median duration of unemployment is 9.9 weeks (about 2 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 22.5 weeks (about 5.2 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 8.5 weeks;     while the current
Median is 11 weeks (about 2.5 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.

June

U-1 unemployment rate was 1.5%.

U-2 unemployment rate was 1.9%.

U-3 unemployment rate was 4.4%.

U-4 unemployment rate was 4.7%.

U-5 unemployment rate was 5.4%.

U-6 unemployment rate was 8.1%.

unemployment rate for those seeking full-time work was 4.2%.

unemployment rate for those seeking part-time work was 5.1%.

unemployment rate for men was 4.4%.

464K men are classified by BLS as "not in labor force, marginally attached to the labor force", want employment now, marginally attached to labor force, discouraged over job prospects, believe no job is available (LNU05026646);    
654K not in labor force, want employment now (LNU05026645),
6.455M are classified by BLS as "Not in labor force - Want a job now, Marginally attached to labor force, Searched for work in previous year, Available to work now" (LNU05026639);   &
1.862M are classified by BLS as "Not in labor force - Want a job now, Marginally attached, Searched for work in previous year, Available to work now" (LNU05026642),
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 45.5% (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 (employment rate) 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 (employment rates)
for those with at least the equivalent of bachelor's degrees were 69.5% in 2025 June (best since 1992 January was 79.8%, but trending down);  
for those with some college were 60.7% in 2025 June; (best since 1992 January was 73%, but trending down);  
for those with a HS diploma were 54.5% in 2025 June; (best since 1992 January was 63.5%, but trending down);  
for those without a HS diploma were 44.8% in 2025 June; (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 66.9%
25-29 year olds it's 78.9%
30-34 = 81.4%
35-39 = 81.2%
40-44 = 81.3%
45-49 = 81.7%
50-54 = 78.6%
55-59 = 71.7%
60-64 = 56.7%
65-69 = 32.4%
70-74 = 18.2%
75+ = 7.49%
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.
