(611 posts)Get rid of programs and regulations such that children, the disabled, and retirees are all forced into the job market. All the added competition for jobs would put a downward pressure on wages. Severely lowered wages would be necessary to bring those manufacturing jobs back to the US. Something like that.

(3,208 posts)I do not have a paying job. I am helping my daughter and son in law by taking care of my grandsons while their parents work. Best job I ever had really! Even if I was not doing that I would be hard pressed to get a job bc of chronic pain (due to work I hAve done in the past!).
So don't count me in there to inflate your numbers, Mr. rump!

Declaring that 94M Americans are out of workforce is an incredibly misleading claim. Figure includes seniors, teens
