Pay the bills but starve the beast, gone Galt.

How many of those 92 million Americans who are "out of the labor force" are actually retired?

I'll let you know after I get the secret retiree handshake next November. My guess is that many are retired like welfare queens are retired - take the dole from the gubmint and ain't gonna work noways.

In 1994, I trained people from Europe on my job. My job eventually went to Europe. I’m one of those forced retirees.

“In 1994, I trained people from Europe on my job. My job eventually went to Europe. I’m one of those forced retirees.”

As I noted, our time periods are similar to when I refused to train my possible replacement when I was in my 50’s.

Many of the reps, who didn’t take early retirement, when I did, were eventually forced out of work, fired or given some type of settlement. Everyone of them was expected to train replacements on and off the job. I was fishing, working on jobs re my house and yard, and enjoying life. They were being treated like serfs and pressured into training their or other reps replacements.

Tell that to the Unions who pretty much killed business here and the US Government which punishes people who are make cash.

The US population is about 320,000,000 if all of them were employable and 93,000,000 million were out of work, how would that equal 6%, looks more like 35%.

I happen to know a Puerto Rican couple, only two languages, no Phd's (as far as I know) but two CPA's (with honors, LOL!), who did rather well in the burger flippin' business in Dallas, to the tune of low 8-digits at least.
