  • White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller stated that almost one in four Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 aren’t even employed, during a Wednesday press conference. Miller made the claim during a heated exchange about the RAISE act with New York Times White House Correspondent Glenn Thrush. Verdict: True Government data support Miller’s claim that almost one-quarter of Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 do not have jobs. Fact Check: The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), under the federal government’s Department of Labor, compiles monthly data about employment in the U.S. One statistic that the BLS calculates is the Employment-Population Ratio – the ratio of the population of employed people over the total population. As of June 2017, the BLS calculates that the employment-population ratio of the American population between the ages of 25 and 54 is 78.5 percent , which means that 21.5 percent of all Americans between 25 and 54 are not employed. Miller’s claim that almost one-quarter of Americans between 25 and 54 do not have jobs holds up to the facts. Although the employment-population ratio does not prove Miller’s broader conclusions about a surplus of low-skill labor in the U.S., his claim that almost one in four Americans between 25 and 54 are not employed is true.
