“the decrease in civilian population in age group 25-54 was 1,340,000”
This says America has had a declining civilian population 25-54 over the last five years. This is hard to believe. Baby boomers are aging beyond 54 years. There are fewer younger people. This is still hard to believe. Someone 54 years old in 2012 was born in 1958. Someone 25 was born 1987.
The number of those aged 55+ in the workforce has doubled in the past decade.
I guess those cost-of-living adjustments aren’t quite keeping up with inflation after all.
There may be several reasons for this.
Experience and strong work ethic come to mind.
Older workers have both. Younger workers, not so much.
