Yep, I'm one of those that just retiredAnother thing to consider is how this Administration calculates unemployment. They look at the number of jobs available, and run that against the number of people looking for work. So when a ton of people give up and retire early, or leave the job market entirely, they skew the numbers to make them look better than they are.
Eg. if there are 1M people looking for jobs and only 900k available, then the unemployment rate is 10%. If 5 million of those people give up and leave the workforce, then the 900k jobs get divided into the remaining 950k workers looking. You effectively cut the unemployment rate in half despite not actually adding any new jobs... The situation isn't any better, but the numbers make it look like significant gains were made.
It's all an elaborate game of shells...
