I hope somebody from Fox News or the Wall Street Journal reads your post. Excellent.

Thanks for your kind words.

Another hidden stat on the job market has been the formerly working 62 to 65 year old workers.

They lost their jobs and stopped trying to find a full time job and applied for early social security.

This is a double time bomb. First, there are more people going on early on the SS rolls, and those going on early are no longer contributing to the program.

My wife, an office based RN, saw this trend a couple of years ago in the family practice she has worked at for 3 decades. Most of these people wanted to work full time or heavy on the part time until the Pelosi/Reid job killers hit America.
