It's an assertion that has been accepted as fact by droves of the unemployed: Older people remaining on the job later in life are stealing jobs from young people. One problem, many economists say: It isn't supported by a wisp of fact.

I remember how for years people were told be a teacher, there is a great need. And lo, many answered the call and got their degrees and credentials, only to find incredible competition for few jobs because... the older teachers were not retiring. And really, what are older people to do when they can't afford to stop working?

CHICAGO (AP) -- It's an assertion that has been accepted as fact by droves of the unemployed: Older people remaining on the job later in life are stealing jobs from young people.

"Stealing" jobs from young people? Let us not loose track here, Obama has been "stealing" jobs from young people by imposing the largest tax hike in history, i.e. Obamacare.

For an older person to be working is now "stealing"?
