I know that many of the people leaving the labor force now are Baby Boomers hitting retirement, but what I keep wondering to myself is, if the retiring Boomers were such a valuable and productive part of the workforce, why are so many of them simply not being replaced?

The fact that they aren't leads me to believe that many of them simply had positions and salaries that weren't justified by their actual value and productivity to their employers.

How can the current emperor even pretend to know how to create jobs and prosperity when he can’t even keep his senior staff? :-) /s

As the baby boomers have started to reach retirement age... wouldn’t it be expected to be seeing millions leaving the labor force?

I got laid off in 2009 one week before my 50th birthday and said screw it, I’m not pulling the wagon anymore and just called it retirement.
