Gotta love how the left thinks 55 year olds dropping out of the work force is retiring because they can't find work due to age discrimination or overqualification

It's apparently not working.
They are "not creating", mostly due to government interference.

Unsurprisingly, the response of the leftist fanatics, is to have government interefere more.

Some people just never learn.....

The stock and housing crash of the last 5 years really did a number on 401k plans requiring boomers to work even more.

In summation, your wrong.
It only takes a fraction of the 76-79 million Baby Boomers to retire every month to make massive dent on the labor force. It's hilarious watching the shills use the "Obama math" line--BB retirements have been accelerating since the failed Bush Presidency.

...and hoping people don't notice it's because more than 600,000 people have quit looking for work altogether...
It's not as though people die, retire, move abroad, start a business, join the military, etc...

Didn't realize baby boomers were born in the 30's.

Seems to me, the unemployment rate would then be 63%, not 8%
