How many people have jobs in America?

This is a difficult question, due to the fact that in the late 1970's early '80's the jobless rate statistic's changed from those 'out of work' to only those 'collecting' unemployment.

So the statistics are flawed. You see if your unemployment run's out you are no longer unemployed, according to federal jobless stat's. Obviously when your unemployment runs out you don't magically get a job.

So the 'jobless' rate for January 2011 is down from 9.8% to 9% (which .8% of Americans is 3,875,000) , while job creation was only roughly 34,000 jobs. So you can see it is off.

The best guesstimate of America's unemployment is roughly 18-19%.

Sorry I couldn't be more exact for you
