I just linked the BLS, if you look in there you will find that retirees are not counted as part of the work force, i.e. the statistic would not change if all the baby boomers retired yesterday.
Why is your reading compensation so bad when it comes to the BLS link?
again, i got this a few posts back.

baby boomers leaving the work force have no effect on the numbers of people leaving the work force.

it's just logical.

Bucky doesn't understand the difference between labor force participation rate, and the employment-population ratio, thinks they are the same thing, then claims victory when there is none. Yay Bucky. You go.

dude, i totally agree with you.

the hoards of baby boomers leaving the workforce have no bearing whatsoever on the numbers of people leaving the workforce.

high ranking economists seem to be too stupid to grasp your genius though.


There's no clear reason why people are leaving the workforce, and the issue has ignited a fierce debate among economists. One trend that they seem to agree on? About half of the decline is due to baby boomers entering their retirement years...."It also means there are fewer people paying into Social Security and Medicare, at a time when both programs are already running out of money due to the baby boomer retirement."

Pretty soon the unemployment rate will be at 0%, no one will have a job, and buck will be exclaiming the virtues of former President Obama and all his wisdom while telling us that that warm piss on our back is rain.

you're clearly a smart man who never needs to plagiarize when he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

Nope but every time you post false statics you're going to get a dose to reality.
statics?

number one, learn to english.

number two, take it up with the high ranking economists.

So people are retiring, but nobody new is entering the work force? Millions of teenage kids just sitting on their asses playing Xbox? Probably because there aren't any jobs.

Its funny, Buck keeps saying "baby boomers retiring", yet the BLS statistics show the rate of people over 65 working is increasing year on year.

We need a word more powerful than retarded to describe people like Buck.

There were 76 million people born between the years 1946 and 1964, the traditional window for the baby boom generation. That means that they will retire over a 19-year period. Simple math shows that 76 divided by 19 is 4 million, or almost 11,000 people a day.

And yet the labour force participation rate for that group is growing, year on year.

So what you're saying doesn't make any sense, it shows older people are being forced to work longer.
