> unemployment near a half-century low This is a low effort way to view the situation and a reporter ought to be aware of the overall picture. People who do not want a job do not count towards unemployment. That means the millions of baby boomers (and jones generation) that are retiring continue to put their demand for goods on to the economy, but do not help to produce any.
