This canard again?


Nearly a quarter of Americans were born between 1946 and 1964, the typical definition of the baby boom generation. That’s more than 75 million people. In their heyday, the boomers were an unprecedented economic force, pushing up rates of homeownership, consumer spending and, most important of all, employment. It’s no coincidence that the U.S. labor force participation rate — the share of the adult population that has a job or is trying to find one — hit a record high in the late 1990s, when the boomers were at the peak of their working lives.

It’s been downhill ever since. The participation rate hit a 36-year low last month, and while there are multiple reasons for the decline, the aging of the baby boom generation is a dominant factor. In 2003, 82 percent of boomers were part of the labor force; a decade later, that number has declined to 66 percent, and it will only continue to fall.


The Baby Boom generation began hitting retirement age in 2009. Lead elements hit 65 in 2011.

Duh.

This has been explained to you before but apparently you didn't understand.

The only segment of the labor force that is increasing its participation is the 54+ segment. That means that they aren't retiring. Every other segment of labor force participation is declining.
