And?
Our population is getting older; Less of our population is looking for employment.
You can try to make this out as a bad thing, but it seems to me the unemployment rate is a somewhat accurate gauge of our true unemployment figures. Six years ago when our unemployment was at it's high, a large percentage of my local friends were out of work and looking for jobs. Oddly enough, now that the unemployment rate is down none of my friends are looking for jobs.
