Since teenagers and younger workers tend to have higher unemployment rates than older workers, some

argue that changes in the composition of the labor force partly explain a shift in the natural rate of unemployment. Compare the age composition of the labor force today with 10 years ago. What is your interpretation of the data.

Not sure I understand question- can you clarify?



Since unemployment for college educated people is nearly record low right now, and the baby boomers are retiring and there is a shortage of educated young people in the job market, I would have to interpret that demographic factors (fewer gen X and Y than boomers, aging boomers) and technology are changing the labor market faster than wage growth or political pressure.

Which just shows that even educated people can make something simple so complicated no one gets it.



Teenagers work less because a) more are staying in school and b) they lack job skills in a labor market that is requiring more job skills.|||Older people make better employees, period.



I was just on a web-site that has companies that hire workers through AARP. I don%26#039;t have a problem with that at all though.



these are people who have retired from job, and now take fairly good paying part-time jobs. They can afford the part-time work because they have already paid off their homes, sent the kids through college. They just work to get out of the house or to save for vacations.



There just aren%26#039;t enough good paying jobs for people without college or without a lot of experience. Younger workers who have management jobs such as small retail outlets, are treated unfairly, by being forced to work sixty to seventy hours a week, and only receiving a salary that is based on fourty hours. And the reason is because of this %26quot;exemt%26quot; or %26quot;non-exempt%26quot; classification. With one you are entitled to over-time, the other you aren%26#039;t. But the criteria to determine which one you are, is so screwed up, you need a lawyer to figure it out.



I have been looking for some forums for these kinds of workers, but haven%26#039;t really found any good ones that aren%26#039;t anything more than places to whine. If anyone knows of some useful, meaningful, forums for workers rights, please post them.
