Who's doing the work?

[bluedragon1971]

The population of the USA is 300 million.

 

160 million are retired.

 

That leaves 140 million to do the work.

 

There are 85 million in school.

 

Which leaves 55 million to do the work.

 

Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.

 

Leaving 15 million to do the work.

 

2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama

Bin-Laden.

 

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

 

Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and

city governments.

 

And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

 

At any given time there are 188, 000 people in hospitals.

 

Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

 

Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

 

That leaves just two people to do the work.

 

You and me.

 

And there you are, sitting on your ass, at your computer, reading

jokes.

Thanks guys, I found that one on a private message board I visit (not tech related). It does make you wonder how accurate some of those numbers are though.

There is one just like this about India, floating around since the past two years.

55-35= 15? That math is a bit off

According to Census 2001 A small interesting statistic - Go on and find the truth...

 

The population of India is 1000 millions.

 

But did you know that facts....

 

190 millions are retired.That leaves 810 millions to do the work.

 

There are 250 millions in school, which leaves 560 million to do the work.

 

Of this there are 220 millions employed by the Central Government, leaving 340 millions to do the work.

(as you know, government employees do not believe in working)

 

40 millions are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 300 millions to do the work.

 

Take from the total the 200 millions people who work for State Governments and

that leaves 100 millions to do the work.(They also do not work)

 

Total unemployed are 80 millions that leaves 20 millions to do the work.

 

At any given time there are 12 million people in hospitals, leaving

 

8,000,000 to do the work. Now, there are 7,999,998 people in prisons.

 

That leaves just two people to do the work.......You and me.
