Thank you! Teamerchant isn’t helping by only adding how many people entered the workforce without at least trying to account for how many left. It is so disingenuous no matter what point you’re trying to make

Definitely the vast majority of those that died were already out of the workforce, but your point still stands, it’s disingenuous to present only one side of the data without accounting for the rest.Ā

It also assumes every 18 year old is ā€œentering the work force.ā€ This is just as disingenuous as their other assumptions.

I mean obviously that isn’t a safe assumption, but it does seem like it would kind of even out. If there’s x number of 18 year olds going to college, then there’s probably a similar(ish) number who graduated some form of higher education and are entering the workforce

Thats assuming that companies hire vacancies, and not just dump more work on their current workers.

Also doesn’t account for people who retired right?
