Classic response - who is the source.
I hate quality information. I just want a bunch of graphs with no context. I am glad you can comply.
If you really looked at the charts then you would have seen that most bad trends are much longer than 8 years. Look at labor force participation - it has been falling since the 1970's. Student loans escalated rapidly starting in 2005, etc.No, I looked at the graphs.
Well, the highlighted portions are all the last 8 years, which is what the makers of those graphs are wanting you to look at.
If you look at the chart in the first post, it shows that overall labor force participation has been dropping since 1999. Again, the federal government isn't helping the white male or the American worker
People are not leaving the workforce because they are retiring and there is no one to replace them. The under employment and folks just quitting the workforce is well documented. This is much more than demographics.And it will continue to drop unless we have another baby boom. Your charts do not show what age groups are considered nor does it specify what portion of that group are classified as "discouraged workers". These charts are complete crap.
