More than 8.7 million people took federal disability payments in June — more
than the population of New York City, the Social Security Administration
reports.
In June, 8,733,461 workers received payments, up from 8,707,185
in May, with an average payment of $1,111.42, cnsnews.com

According to CNSNews.com, the 2012 figures continue to illustrate the dramatic
shrinkage in the number of American citizens actually employed and earning
paychecks over the past 20 years.
In June 1992, for instance, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 118,419,000 people were working in the United
States, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics – but only 3,334,333
workers were claiming federal disability payments.
That amounted to one
person on disability for every 35.5 people actually working.
