They'll Trojan Horse your compound by wearing sheets over their heads and carrying burning crosses.
The number not participating is going to continue to spike as the baby boomers continue to retire. Once the median of the boomers hits retirement, the participation rate will start to go back up again.bluehenbillk wrote:I'm too lazy to look it up, plus I have a job & don't have the time; however, if you want to get a true gage on the labor force participation you need to look it up by age.

The winters up there can be brutal but since its right on the water its not as bad as a few miles inland near Kalkaska and Mancelona.

Oh its beautiful up there summer and winter. I've been up there the last three winters for my daughter's bday (she lives in MI) was able to go up there in the summer season for the first time and it was amazing.

About the size of Newark...without the college population. Lots of water up there (frozen a good part of the year) and it looks as though you'll be getting some snow on that side of the lake, so get yourself a good snow blower and some fishing equipment (normal stuff during the summer, chain saws, a portable shed, and parkas during the winter season).
My in-laws have a place due North, across the lake, near Engadine. If you love open country, you're going to have a blast. Be prepared to see a LOT of stars...it is a different world away from the megalopolises of the East and West coasts.
When are you moving?
Boomers. What a worthless demographic.

Glad to hear you will be able to spend time with your family. Lots of outdoor adventures that a family can do in that area.DSUrocks07 wrote:Oh its beautiful up there summer and winter.

Aiming for early February, just before spring hits and the tourist season begins. It's a process but I'm looking forward to the opportunity.

That's assuming that their kids, the Baby Boom Echo, who are the 15-30 year olds now, starting getting employed more than they have. The unemployment rate of the youth is particularly troubling as they aren't working and in some cases, seem okay with that.93henfan wrote:The number not participating is going to continue to spike as the baby boomers continue to retire.

Well I think part of that has do with the fact that a lot of us, myself included, graduated into the worst job market since the Great Depression. I've been fairly lucky to find the work I have, but there are still far more college grads nowadays than there are college graduate jobs.GannonFan wrote:That's assuming that their kids, the Baby Boom Echo, who are the 15-30 year olds now, starting getting employed more than they have.

Bullshit. Hippies know about not just rotation and planning but how to farm without using deadly chemicals or greedily ruining soil conditions:CID1990 wrote:Yeah, but the unemployable don't understand the basic engineering concepts of building a defensible bunker, the geometric concepts of fields of fire, or the logistical concepts of crop rotation and planning.D1B wrote:
Don't think so, ****. It's the responsibiliy of the employable to create jobs, with livable wages, for the working class. If you don't, they will kill you and your employable kids.
The employable and accumulators of capital have not been holding their end of the deal since the 50's and they all are going to pay dearly.
Helluva world you created for your children - war, environmental destruction, famine, disease.... Chances are your kids, definately your grandkids, will suffer in a world gone mad. All your fault too.
Again, the hippies were right.

If that's the case, no more whining by the companies, they need to provide their own training. Otherwise, as I have witnessed in the giant organizations I've worked for, they'll put a gun to the head of state governments to pay for their training, thus threatening the state that they will be leaving.Pwns wrote:You could be right bhb.

Don't agree and your state will look like Detroit. It's a tough position to be in.Cap'n Cat wrote:If that's the case, no more whining by the companies, they need to provide their own training.

Worked for a 5 billion/yr food company which did just that in a southwestern state. Built a new plant, then, despite ungodly earnings, had the balls to ask the state to pay for training its new employees. This, after the state had spent $1 million for several job fairs to staff the place. They threatened to pull up stakes and leave if they did not get it, too. It's corporate welfare...for the wealthy!
You want good employees to learn your company's skills, train them yourself!
