Study Reveals 1 in 4 Americans Struggle with “Functional Unemployment”

While the U.S. unemployment rate remains low at 4.2%, a deeper analysis from the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP) reveals a more troubling picture.

Their “True Rate of Unemployment” (TRU) shows that about 24.3% of Americans are “functionally unemployed,” which includes not only those officially unemployed but also people stuck in low-paying jobs or part-time roles without a living wage.

Millions of Americans are living in “survival mode,” unable to afford even basic necessities, which exposes the gap between traditional unemployment figures and the true health of the U.S. labor market.

Why Silver’s Surge Could Ignite Mining Stocks Next

Silver vs. Miners: A Strange Divergence  Silver today looks extremely undervalued — both against inflation and compared to gold. Yet mining stocks, which typically amplify moves in metals, have lagged badly since the mid-2000s. The HUI index (a benchmark for mining companies) has been in a long decline relative to gold, though Lundin believes it may now be breaking that downtrend.  If miners start to “catch up” to silver’s rally, the leverage could be enormous. History shows that when this gap closes, the moves can be fast and violent — rewarding those positioned early.  Two Core Reasons to Own Gold

Gold Isn’t Scarce — So Why Is It So Valuable?

For decades, sound money advocates have leaned on a simple, tidy idea: gold is valuable because it’s scarce.  But what if that argument misses the point entirely?  In his latest video, Alan Hibbard takes aim at the “scarcity” narrative and replaces it with a more precise—and more powerful—mental model: arduousness. It’s not just about how rare something is. It’s about how hard it is to inflate its supply.  If you’ve ever used scarcity to defend gold… you might want to rethink that.  Scarcity vs. Value: Not the Same Thing  Let’s start with a quick thought experiment: if gold is valuable

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
