About 75M people. So it's still over 30% unemployment not a laughably absurd ~4%

In terms of people capable of work, that are willing and able to work and want to work that number is indeed 4.3%. That is how unemployment is calculated, not the number of adults that are not currently in a job. Anything outside of that 4.3% are not employable either due to circumstances beyond their control or by choice and that is a much bigger topic that I will defer to someone else to comment on.
Calculating a percentage that is not employable would be rather challenging I think. Whatever that number is I would expect it to climb as more jobs/careers are automated and deprecated, as increasing numbers of younger people are illiterate and probably quite a few other factors.
I am providing the raw number of human beings who live in America do not work - which is the majority.
Take away children and elderly and it's still an absurdly high number at 30-35%
