How long have we known the baby boomers were going to effect the labor participation rate when they started hitting social security age?

Most retirement-age Boomers I know are still working. Not many people can afford to retire at 65, because the economy is crap.

^Oh, I know. The post was more for the Hope and Change bumper sticker crowd.

What about our own city. 35 and 90 but where are the jobs? I'm thinking we should have more business because of 90 going to the east. 35 going north and south.

QUOTE What about our own city. 35 and 90 but where are the jobs? I'm thinking we should have more business because of 90 going to the east. 35 going north and south.
It’s not so much Albert lea’s problem but a sign of the times in our Nation.
Our country's success was built on the productivity of our labor and the performance
of our schools as much as the number of missiles in our arsenal.
Trade Agreements should create jobs not offshore them for cheap labor and corporate
profit, there’s no way the American worker can compete with a fifty nine cent per hour labor rate!
It’s far past time we the American People stand in solidarity like our forefathers who fought the corporate fascists to unionize,
if they hadn’t found solidarity we’d be no more than the slave laborers of India, China or Vietnam!
I’m not against the Capitalist system, but it has to work for everyone or it will work for no one.
I’m not against trade, trade means jobs, fair and equitable trade creates jobs it doesn’t offshore them.
Jobs should mean a higher standard of living, a healthier economy and lowered deficit, the America of my youth before the Republicans took US down the path to destruction!
We need Bernie Sanders in the Presidency and as many like minded liberals in Congress as we can get!

^^ Half-way through that tripe I had to stop and find a version of the "Battle Hymm of the Republic" to play as I read the rest of that tripe. Union's are a big contributor to our present day problems, pricing our labor out of the market, making our gov costs sky high etc.
If anyone will save our economy it'll be the independents.
