Their plight comes even as the U.S. flirts with what economists consider the maximum level of employment for the first time since before the recession, having added 15.8 million jobs since the start of 2010. While some of America\u2019s jobless are simply between gigs, those persistently stuck out of work are called the structurally unemployed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"storyCopy copy-width\">\n<h2>Informational Insights<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10408\" src=\"\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/bloomberg_employment_recolored.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"658\" \/><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump said wrongly last month that 96 million people are looking for work, having included Americans who are still in school, retired, or just uninterested.
