Hiring Down and the Unemployment Rate is Down
An awful,lot of folks are 62 + in age and they may be signing up for Social Security and dropping out of the labor market. This may be a temporary situation as it becomes necessary to go back to work to pay bills. Underemployment may become preferable to cut back. And being a little more active these days is a good thing.
I'm wondering when the studies will be published about how much folks are cutting back their consumption of stuff and or continuing to put stuff on their cards or use the equity in their houses to maintain that which is becoming increasingly difficult to pay for .
I'm wondering when someone is going to point out the difficulty of maintaining a lifestyle that assumes a level of growth that is shrinking at the same time things appear to be getting better(for who and by how much).
Improvements in processes can make more from less and employ fewer people. I know older workers that would like to hang on to what they've got for a little longer, but even that may become a fools errand as medical bills may continue to eat savings .
Not bitching. Not yet anyway.
