Looks like Baby Boomers retiring and Millennials not entering the workforce in the same numbers. Lots of things were set back by the 2007-2009 Great Recession as well. People stayed in school longer and trillions of dollars in wealth were wiped out. Blaming Obama for ALL of this is just stupid, in my opinion.
Inflation has stayed low, interest rates are incredibly low, taxes are higher, but it isn't like they are THAT much higher to create a huge contraction of business. What has Obama done to drive the LFP that low if it isn't about demographic issues? Can you list his policies? Because, those are the things that we need to change right away to get it back up, right? So, let's change those things that Obama instituted to drive the LFP down 5%

You want to define "stupid"?
Blaming Bush at this stage fully qualifies.
Obama has overseen the worst post-recession economic recovery in the history of our country. It is what it is. He berated business. He increased taxes. He increased regulations. He oversaw and encouraged social unrest. He was awful.
