You just don't seem to get the fact that it's the baby boomers re-entering the workforce that's keeping the labor particpation rate from shattering all time record lows.

You also don't seem to get that half or more of the people that the government by decree has moved out of labor force participation (thus absolving themselves of having to count them in the unemployment numbers) are NOT baby boomers.

You are arguing with me just for the sake of arguing.  You're so caught up in this false dichotomy between right and left that you don't even realize when you're agreeing with someone.  I pointed out about a dozen posts ago that the LFPR drop is due to several factors, including an increase in retirees and an increase in discouraged unemployed workers who have left the labor force altogether.  The change in the structure of the labor markets has also had a big effect.

BMW, I gave you an FYI that this talking point was a loser, yet here you are, loser.
