    I keep hearing the left say that the reason that the workforce participation rate is so low is because the baby boomers are retiring.

    Well, that simply is not true.

    90% of the jobs gained in June went to 55 and older.

    16 to 25 year olds lost jobs in June.

    The young aren’t paying their fair share into this socialist society that the left have created since the 30's.

    The young liberals that want free healthcare and free college need to put down the joint, iPhone, and Xbox controller, get off their behinds and work to support their socialist utopia that they so lovingly want.

    Old folks are having to take jobs that used to be entry level jobs for young people. Go to Home Depot and see all the older employees.

    It's not just that they're "lazy", the economy really does suck today and doesn't offer lots of opportunities. Trump and Bernie are not popular for no reason.

    Welcome to the Age of Obama! Well done (clap clap clap). It's what can happen to a nation when progressives have their way.

    i think the younger population now have a very weak work ethic, the younger truck drivers are really lazy and want a lot of time off and call in sick a lot.

    The younger voters are voting in dems who are screwing them over. Hard to feel sorry for the young and naive.

    Why aren't the states creating jobs for younger workers? Why do all these republican governors hate young people?

    We can't afford to retire because our liberal idiot "friends" have been mooching off of us our entire lives.
    It's time to make them pay their own way.

    Oh Boy oh Boy.A nutter Summer of recovery.Like V.P. Biden built up a
    few years back.Of course he couldn't have been further off base.
    Makes no nevermind to The New Democrat Party.They are Running on
    The Blame Game.That plus Lying and Cheating and Smearing.
    I think it's about time they ran out of things { whether animal,vegetable or mineral }
    to castigate and besmirch.

    the issue is that the media will not peel back the layer of the onion. Instead, we break out the pom-poms. A real Chief Executive would dissect the numbers and look to see why the data is so bad. That of course would mean that the policies enacted are not working and need to be changed. it's not about what is best for the nation, it's about liberal policies

    A good many of those who gave up looking fer jobs have in effect retired.
    They have hired lawyers to help them qualify for disability.Which explains this
    Economy { nearly 95 million American workers are jobless }.Near record low Participation
    rate { Low to mid - 66's during Bush's last term and now upper 62's }
    Currently at 62.7%.

    Old farts alienated from America kvetch about younger, better-educated Americans. No surprise there.

    It's encouraging to see that the current recovery includes even older workers, those that normally find it very difficult to find jobs.

    Better educated, my ass.
    Employers have concluded that older workers are better workers. The current generation of liberal politically correct youth is used to getting trophies for just showing up.
    Pathetic.

    Plus Liberal Professors in most University are teaching how to Hate instead
    of work.Literally.Because it's a political agenda to Radicalize the Country.
    It's origins originating in the Radical 1960's.This is the Radicals wet dream come true.
    To have a Country literally at their beck & call.beholdin' to some Gov'mint
    agenda.Whether Abortion,Gay Marriage or Bogus ObamaCare.
    Now it's BlackLivesMatter.Where Obama's War on Reality is realized.
    Setting the stage for the downfall of Americana and any hopes of an American
    Dream.In Marxism there is no Vibrant Middle Class.If any Middle class at all.

    Its because older people are the only ones that you can count on to actually show up on time or even show up at all. They are just about the only ones who know anything or can do anything besides play with their smartphones and waste time. They will also work for a reasonable amount of pay and not expect to be paid $15 an hour to stand around and daydream of waste time on Facebook and crap like that.

    I'm glad that the current upswing in employment encompasses older workers, but I have no complulsion to lash out at younger, better-educated Americans.

    As I ha e shown in other treads laying to rest the excuses about the labor participation rates falling because more older people retiring, the baby-boomers, they are the only age group to INCREASE their participation rate these last years.

    Yes there is that thread about the interns mass protest over the shoes the company requires the employees to wear and their "rights" being violated.

    I have a compulsion to tell the truth. A trait sadly lacking in others.

    What is encouraging about it didn't include everyone else? They are the only age group whose labor participation rate did not fall.

    You do realize this blows away the canard about that labor participation rate falling BECAUSE older workers retiring?
