The US labor force participation has flat-lined at about 63% for the last 5 years. So compared to 2 decades ago, there are about 18-20 million working-age Americans who simply don't work.

Does anyone know if this chart takes in account the aging of the potential working population?
Millions that no one will employ either. I walked into three places this afternoon that are hiring on line and inquired....they were not interested in an old fat white guy that only speaks English.
1. How many of those are retired?
2. How many of those can pass a criminal background check?
3. How many of those can pass a drug test?
I suspect very few of them are serious candidates for a commercial driving job.
