👷♂️ U.S. Labor Force Participation Rolling Over — Again
The labor force participation rate is sliding once more, continuing a long-term decline that started back in 2000.
People love to blame it on retiring Boomers — but that excuse doesn’t hold up anymore.
Millennials are a larger demographic group, yet participation still can’t recover.
Something deeper is at play: structural weakness, stagnant productivity, or simply a shift in incentives.
Whatever the cause, fewer people working means lower potential growth and higher dependency on credit-driven demand.
The trend is still down. The economy is weakening under the surface while markets are at all-time highs.
