But the largest reduction in the workforce has been among the millennials. Today the labor force participation rate for the 16 to 24 age group is 55.1 percent, down from 60.8 percent a decade ago and more than 66 percent back in the late 1990s.

Hey, why not? Why should anyone have to work to support themselves? Why shouldn't young people be able to "find themselves" while the government supports them? The rich can afford to pay more taxes to support everyone. In fact, the greedy bastards aren't paying their fair share now!!

If this press and this administration had been in office during the 30s, what is referred to now as the Great Depression would be known as the Great Economic Revival.

Why work when you get paid to do nothing? I personally work full time even though I’m in my 70s because someone has to pay for the leisure time and support the life style of the parasites. I’m just proud to be able to allow all those welfare people to buy beer cigarettes, and scratch off lotto tickets < do I really need the sarcasm tag >
