This is a dated prediction of the workforce but proportionately similar to current numbers.
The Population of the Country is 160 million, but there are 62 million over 60 years of age, leaving 98 million to do the work. People under 21 total 54 million which leaves 44 million to do the work.
21 million government employees which leaves 23 million to do the work. Six million in the Armed Forces leaves 17 million workers.
Deduct 14 million state, county, and city employees which leaves 3 million to do the work. There are 2,500,000 people in hospitals, asylums, etc., which leaves 500,000 workers. But 450,000 of these are bums or others who will not work. So that leaves 50,000 to do the work. Now it may interest you that there are 49,998 people in jail so that leaves just two people to do all the work. And that is you and me brother, and I'm getting tired of doing everything by myself.
So Let's Get With It!
