U.S. Chamber of Commerce: 3 Million Fewer Americans are Working Today Compared to February 2020
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce published statistics last week that show there are 3 million fewer Americans working today than there were in February of 2020, before the "pandemic." They reported that the latest data shows that we have over 10 million job openings in the U.S.—but only 5.7 million unemployed workers. They also reported that the labor force participation rate is 62.6% today, down from 63.3% in February 2020. That means there are 1.8 million missing workers today. What happened to all these missing workers? The Chamber of Commerce admits that "there’s not just one reason that workers are sitting out, but several factors have come together to cause the ongoing shortage." However, one of those reasons they did not consider or report about, were deaths and disabilities due to the Operation Warp Speed mass vaccination program of COVID-19 shots that began at the end of 2020, and were widely mandated as a condition for employment throughout 2021. Edward Dowd and his Phinance Technologies has supplied that data for us, which I reported on last week. Dowd's data shows that deaths and disabilities skyrocketed as the experimental COVID shots were injected into Americans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce surveyed unemployed Americans in 2021 and 2022 to find out why they had not returned to the workforce. Only one third of those surveyed stated that they wanted to return to work full time, and almost half of those surveyed stated that they would not return to work unless they could work from home. Why? According to their survey, the top two reasons given were they were too ill to return to work, or that they needed to stay home to take care of children or others in their family.
