Neither were "effects of immigration" but the OP link used them and there is no such calculation, so I am free to include something that was never included too! The difference is my number is real.
Well, if you want to get that technical, it's 8,200 per day which would round up to 10,000.
You pulled the number out of your rear but doubling down on assertions doesn't change facts.
Again, only if you assume every baby boomer works. Even going with your figures that 82% retire by age 65, that's 82% of working baby boomers, which is probably less than 70%.Well, if you want to get that technical, it's 8,200 per day which would round up to 10,000.
And how do you know they're not included in the CPS? There are no questions about legality or taxes and disclosure of any such information outside of statistical agencies would be illegal. There's no reason for people not to report under-the-table activities to BLS, and while it's true that some people would still be reluctant, that's probably not the general case.
Yes, they are. There's no distinction in the household survey.
But you can't show how much is or is not already included. There's no reason for illegal aliens or off the books employees not to report such work to BLS, and for those who don't trust BLS and don't want to answer about work most likely just refuse the survey altogether.
lol.
It doesn't even matter. No matter what metric they invent, unemployment was still worse when Bush fled office. If they use some made up calculation to show that "real unemployment" is 18%, that only means it was way higher 5 1/2 years ago.
When Bush left, even though his policies were still in effect, the U-3 rate was 7.8% and his U-6 rate was 14.2%. The U-3 rate now is 6.2% and the U-6 rate now is 12.2%.It doesn't even matter.

While there are a lot of baby boomers retiring, I've seen no evidence that 10,000 are retiring every day.
Watch the left-wingers leap all over this because it's a Breitbart site story. Nothing about the facts reported or the truth.
“Truth? I don't want no damn truth!”
We hear it all the time.
But, for your own information, read the story @ Real Unemployment Rate Is at Least 18 Percent
Let me explain this to you for the gazillionth time, although I doubt you can count beyond ten.
Yes, there are more unemployed people out there. Thanks to the 10,000 baby boomers retiring every single day.

That proved my point, thanks!
I admit you are right, so I recalculated using a different SSA source.
What a splendid display of ODS -- Bush nearly doubles U6 unemployment from 7.3% to 14.2%, an increase of a whopping 95% and second only to Herbert Hoover, another rightwing loser. Obama lowers U6 unemployment from 14.2% to 12.2%, a decrease of 14% -- yet your outrage is aimed at the president who lowered the U6 rate but not the one who nearly doubled it.
