    The real unemployment rate is much higher https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm

    Take 3 adults. Before 2008 2 of them had a job and the other didn’t. Since that time it has fallen even lower. Most of the loss being from prime age and the young dropping out of the workforce, but hey if we keep blaming it on retirement maybe we can ignore the problem long enough that we don’t have to fix it.

    Our government makes life hell on earth, our economists tell us that it can’t be any other way.
