But lets stop pretending that U3 is a good measure of the employment situation when labor force participation is at a 40-year low. |

Date: March 6th, 2015 2:14 PM Author: violet hospital Can he stop men age 25-54 from leaving the workforce? Because that accounts for >50% of the reduced participation rate.

|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:29 PM Author: violet hospital So now the goalpost has moved from "It's boomers retiring!!" to "It's millennials and their extended educations!!"
Neither answer is correct. Participation by men age 35-55 has dropped 5% in the last 30 years. Munch on that.
President Obama says that half of the reduced participation rate is retirement, and the other half is either "a cyclical decline in line with historical patterns in previous recessions" or "trends that pre-date the Great Recession and consequences of the unique severity of the Great Recession."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/labor_force_participation_report.pdf
The federal reserve generally agrees, only attributing a little less to retirement and a lot more to structural factors -- they find the biggest problem to be reduced employment options for middle-skilled men.
http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2014/201464/201464pap.pdf
TBF: the "trends that pre-date the Great Recession" are the same issues the Fed is talking about -- reduced options for working age men with moderate skill sets. |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:32 PM Author: Azure beta trust fund home so, obama has no control over it?
look i think we can all agree that the labour market is in a much stronger position that it was a couple of years ago. but think structural factors mean wage growth remains low indefinitely, no matter who is oval office |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:38 PM Author: violet hospital Obama's predecessor sent a few million middle-skill men to some Arabian deserts. That helped in a way...
Iraq notwithstanding, the structural factors are pretty straightforward: there aren't any jobs that pay >$15/hour for men with a HS diploma and a little training. That's something new in the USA; historically, men who weren't lazy or retarded could get a middle class job. Bams is trying to address the problem by 1) increasing the minimum wage, and 2) making community college free.
This would put upward pressure on wages for low and middle-skill workers, and would make more of folks "high skill" workers. It could work.
On the other hand, Bush wanted to offer tax credits/incentives to employers to hire more folks, and increase the earned income tax credits, making working a middle-skill job more lucrative. This could have worked, too, but didn't because some NYC investment bankers fucked us all. |

Date: March 6th, 2015 2:40 PM Author: Azure beta trust fund home i think you are massively underestimating the powerful forces of globalization and technology. no matter what the president does, there is no reason why an unskilled man in the us should be able to easily find a job that pays $60k p/a (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2823897&forum_id=2#27441698) |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:43 PM Author: violet hospital So far, you've given 3 different reasons for declining participation rate:
1) Boomer retirement (partially correct) 2) Increased education by millenials (totally unsupported by serious research; but something you might see on MSNBC or Fox News) 3) Globalization and its discontents (A really complicated, catch-all cause for many problems perceived by both the left and the right-wings)
Do you have any more, or is this it? |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:47 PM Author: Azure beta trust fund home 1) partially correct
2) partially correct
3) is an explanation for weak wage growth, not necessarily male participation. although it will probably have an influence on that over time |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:48 PM Author: violet hospital So when you said "Obama can't stop boomers from retiring," were you being intentionally deceptive or just lazy? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2823897&forum_id=2#27441798) |
|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:50 PM Author: Azure beta trust fund home half of the decline in the participation rate is due to boomers retiring. something obama has no control over. it was a fair if not comprehensive statement. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2823897&forum_id=2#27441814) |

|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:13 PM Author: violet hospital This accounts for about one-third in the reduction in participation. The bigger problem is that participation by men age 25-54 has been declining:

|
Date: March 6th, 2015 2:18 PM Author: violet hospital One well-known long-term factor is the aging of the labor force. Because older workers’ participation rates are lower, the increase in the share of old workers by itself pushes down the aggregate participation rate. 4 One can conduct an accounting exercise to calculate the contribution of demographic factors on the decline in the aggregate participation rate.5 However, no matter how one splits the data (say, not just by demographics, but also by education, etc.), the exercise does not answer the question of why the participation rate within each group has changed in a certain manner.

Date: March 6th, 2015 3:18 PM Author: gaped lake therapy All of the analysis I've seen on the oft-cited Philly Fed study says that 80% of the decline in the LFP is the result of boomer retirements.

You're financially illiterate and haven't been following current events if you think a single jobs number will move the needle for the fed. They have been planning to go to 2% in July or August for the last 6 months and nothing short of an act of God will move that timetable forward. |
