It hasn't gone up much since it hit bottom in 2014. Trump can't claim an improvement, but at least he hasn't caused an Obama level disaster yet.

That number is about Boomers retiring as it is anything else. Those that didn't get out got RIFd and cant find other work. We need the population to balance by those dear folks passing on before the participation rate matters again.
Folks retiring shouldn't even be considered as unemployed when it comes to deciding who is truly unemployed due to being fired, their job downsized or cut, etc. This is one example of why the "unemployment numbers" are not accurate in the least. I could go on about this but it's too late in the day to get my blood pressure up.
