How many are over 60? Aren't we currently experiencing an extreme graying with all tr boomers "retiring"?

Differing opinions on this. But the highest estimate I've seen says that less than half of the drop in labor force participation rates is due to boomers leaving. Given that boomers are actually staying in the workforce longer, I'd guess that it's far less than half the decline in participation rates since 2008.

I'd love to see the polling data on how many want to vs. have to.
