toward the optimal one hoss shay labor force


  after 55:


will it be 
   our   golden years ?

 or 
will we be back on the grill
 
reground  job-burgers 

here's a lady  eve 
old timers
    intervention 


by the way
  the lady herself
has gotta be 
well  past that 55 post 

herb I just saw this
in a sermonic
           article



 what u figure?

is this the new wave ?

 a  sudden job skew 
toward 
    the well barnacled hulls  ?

 i know u like to laugh up 

the " better get ready to jobble till yer scrap "
                         bull rope 

but maybe .....

   
           
-----------------


this is based 
  on a "number fry up"
by 
that infamous
afl-xxx 
    stat flack hack

 the ever  dull - i- gent 
       dean
           baker

 once boiled off
 its all prolly just another
too good to be true
 5 alarm  pure smoke 
                  no fire mirage 

  after the music stops 
don't we all wish we 
               could say


" I'm  seein'
 666 all over town
         these days " 


my suspicions are
he's pullin his usual 
      "ejack - u- lota pray-cox"  here

 like with his
           "the coming rate spike " 
                               quackery 

in any case  .....
----------------------------


"Over the last year
 workers over age 55 
accounted for half
(918,000 out of 1,810,000) 
 the rise in employment "

------- clearing away
a little sky hookery here 

dean doubtless
tell us what
 the base year
   job share
 of these oldsters 
was 
my thumb est 12%
    
so we can get 
a sense of the oldster overage 
that share today 
based on these same 
 notoriuosly labile survey numbers 
is beyond  15% 
 
tres big jump
too tres 
   something seems off here ....-------------


"There are two factors 
driving the flood of older
workers into the labor market....


 One 

 the hideously deflated
      post  bubble 
           value 
               of
        retirees' 401(k)s 
 
two ( in two parts )
  
 1)
    the  price hikes
   for health-care
               coverage 

 2)
   employers 
   dropping 
their  retirees 
            from company paid  coverage"


 "In February 1999, 
17,000,000 people 
over age 55
 were working 
Last month there were
22,775,000, 
an increase 
of more than 35 percent

----- i guess last year 
  in fact 
    was slightly below 
           average 
        for this interval
  since these numbers imply  
   a  steady 
         yearly rise 
       of about 950 thousand --------


" This
is especially striking 
since job growth 
had collapsed
for everyone else 
    after March 2001"


------- indeed.....
all the better to doubt you for

   i guess i'll have to 
          get more numbers  for ya 
on this  herb ----------


-------- dean is clam like 
             at his site
  gues itsgonna entail
  me 
 wading into d of l waters 
     to fish this out

   god what i'll do some times 
                 for a touche --------
