It has been said that a picture can speak a thousand words. These pictures of charts about the statistics related to American workers speak millions of words because their lines represent living, breathing people with families and responsibilities in life that what they show represents.
The charts include:
#1 Wages And Salaries As A Percentage Of GDP
#2 Average Annual Hours Worked Per Employed Person In The United States
#3 Manufacturing Employment
#4 Employment-Population Ratio
#5 Labor Force Participation Rate
#6 Duration Of Unemployment
#7 Delinquency Rate On Residential Mortgages
#8 New Homes Sold
#9 Consumer Credit
And the chart that possibly affects me the most: #10 Self-Employment At A Record Low

Taxes, rules, regulations and red tape are choking the life out of millions of small businesses in the United States. As a result, the percentage of self-employed Americans is at a record low.
As all of these long-term trends continue, the middle class will continue to shrink, poverty in America will continue to explode and government dependence will continue to rise.
The numbers don’t lie.
