I think there's some truth to that. I believe those people are placed in a class where they are considered to "no longer" be looking for work, thus taken out of the math that determines the unemployment rate. (Retirees fall into this group by default.)

It's not all that easy avoiding work after retirement. Even when one stays home as one should there is always something that needs doing if one is objectivist. For instance, yesterday there were two squirrel fights in the yard that needed broken up.
