I haven't worked, although I've done plenty of jobs, for about 10 years. Coincidentally, I was watching a guy on Youtube, (a man in the pub said), who said 41% of the population of America of working age, weren't in work. They'd opted out, and because they weren't actively seeking work, or in receipt of social welfare, weren't counted. This kept the official unemployment rate at somewhere under 10%, and it applies to Ireland and the UK too.
So, almost half the working age population don't work.
