Basically, while our population is getting bigger the amount of people of working age is getting smaller, while the people who are either retired or about to retire is getting larger. Our population is getting older.
And did you read the report mentioned above the numbers?
Labor force projections to 2022: the labor force participation rate continues to fall : Monthly Labor Review: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
In the first 12 years of the 21st century, the growth of the population has slowed and labor force participation rates generally have declined. As a result, labor force growth also has slowed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that the next 10 years will bring about an aging labor force that is growing slowly, a declining overall labor force participation rate, and more diversity in the racial and ethnic composition of the labor force.
This has nothing to do with the economy, and every thing to do with our population. The labor population has been in decline |
LOL, they said the same thing when Carter was president, then Reagan took office and proved them all wrong. Again, you pointed out that baby boomers are retiring, when in fact, participation rate for that demographic is UP!
Projections? I'm looking at the facts, 600k less people are working now than when Obama took office in a middle of a recession !
People over 75 growth is a good thing? Really?

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
