    I kind of wonder if the falling prime-age male labor force participation rate is a trend that has now run its course.https://twitter.com/MarkThoma/status/1051891214792962053 …

        If you isolate workforce participation by white males, the only segment with full access to the labor force farther back than the 80's, you get a steady downward trend for as long as we've kept that measurement.https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300028 …

        Declining workforce participation may just be a feature of an affluent society.

        could be that we reached that handoff point where falling participation rate at top of age range is being offset by growing participation at bottom end of age range.

        along my running theme of "Boomers are Evil" it feels like Boomers were staying in their jobs as long as possible post-2008 and basically holding up advancement for the succeeding generations, i.e. GenXers not getting promoted as quickly, Millenials being stuck at bottom longer

        I don’t think it’s a coincidence that non participation rates stopped increasing at the same time that median household income finally beat its previous highs.

        Given that we have seen an explosion in the number of jobs requiring a license, I have long wondered whether the declining LFPR is something of a measurement error with more people working off the books.
