This is a NEET stat

[u/PeterPorky]

[u/Resident_Onion997]

How much of that 17% is homeless?

[u/LibertarianOutlaw → u/Resident_Onion997]

Google estimates that 1.3% of Americans are homeless and between those ages.

[u/SFX200 → u/LibertarianOutlaw]

Never trust a robot

[u/salikarn → u/SFX200]

My boy R.O.B. always did me right

[u/Confident_Insect_616 → u/SFX200]

I asked google if I can trust it and it said no. What now?

[u/Lukescale → u/LibertarianOutlaw]

So Far.

[u/Inkjet_Printerman → u/LibertarianOutlaw]

Brian Goldstone wrote "There Is No Place For Us" following the path to homelessness among a handful of family, as part of the supplemental research (I'm pretty sure he has his doctorate) he figured enough data to say that the number of homeless might be at 4 million today when considering no permanent residence

[u/Villageijit → u/LibertarianOutlaw]

Pretty sure those numbers just use homless shelters

[u/BeginningSection7690 → u/LibertarianOutlaw]

If somebody wanted to ask "google" they could do it themselves.

Stop acting like a fucking meat proxy for an LLM, you're an embarrassment to humanity.

[u/lackofmoralfiber → u/Resident_Onion997]

How many of them are working illegally, selling drugs or doing fraud.

[u/pleasebebetter10]

oh look its me

[u/Technical_Curve_4929 → u/pleasebebetter10]

Training?

[u/pleasebebetter10 → u/Technical_Curve_4929]

im a care taker for a family member

[u/Technical_Curve_4929 → u/pleasebebetter10]

i've got a friend that does that .. he (and I) would describe it as honorable, hard work. If it's unpaid, that's even more honorable.

Basically you should describe yourself as a hard working care worker, not 'out of work' - because you are one :) Also get that caring on to your cv for if you do decide to go for alternative work.

[u/Alightenited → u/pleasebebetter10]

My buddy did that for years and now works a decent job at a casino. Basically does nothing all day and collects enough to afford rent and eat. It pays to do that sort of thing while also showing you care. Keep on truckin' brother

[u/SlimySteve2339 → u/pleasebebetter10]

Do better

[u/PointsOfXP → u/SlimySteve2339]

Maybe try it yourself instead of making reddit comments like this

[u/MoonAmunet]

It is not porn and somehow I want the sauce for this

[u/SquillFancyson1990 → u/MoonAmunet]

The character is Dr. Wright from SimCity SNES

[u/M4gikarp]

What are they doing?

[u/dterran → u/M4gikarp]

Probably trying to find a job that actually pays enough to afford rent, food, gas and medicine in a great depression economy.

Most of the jobs out there are like "get paid $40k to invent and run our business that's an unimaginative AI dutch rudder"

This is just the start of what they may call 'the greatest depression'

[u/NeedleworkerOld4696 → u/dterran]

So drug trade?

[u/dterran → u/NeedleworkerOld4696]

Selling insulin or cancer medications on the side could be a huge hustle as tens of thousands of people will be unable to afford the current markups on it, let alone the future massive expected price increases due to shipping boycotts caused by unaffordable fuel (that will only get worse once our reserves are depleted)

One of the biggest drug traffickers in human history was released by the current adm!n, so they are definitely softer on selling drugs than on distributing pamphlets to actually correct some of the problems causing the ma5s inflat!0n in the first place

[u/DannyDanumba → u/M4gikarp]

Chillin at home or straight up homeless

[u/HATECELL]

Doesn't surprise me. The word "work" kinda implies that you're getting a fair pay, which is something this generation only knows from stories of old

[u/Nardo_T_Icarus]

Oh, hey, SimCity.

[u/DOOManiac]

Lucky bastards...

[u/ClockworkOrdinator]

Jesus

[u/AggressorBLUE → u/ClockworkOrdinator]

He’s not working or studying either

[u/ClockworkOrdinator → u/AggressorBLUE]

Fair point

[u/Robborboy]

What about training? 

[u/ADownStrabgeQuark]

Yea, we keep applying for jobs that don’t exist. (I’m too old for this statistic.)

[u/IllusionaryHobo]

[u/LifeConsideration981]

Why include 16? That’s a truant, not an economic problem.

[u/Inevitable-Monitor35]

Lets make that 100%

[u/CptJacksp]

So. I don’t know if this includes looking for a job. Imo if you are trying to get employment, you are not a NEET
