A Deeper Look at Jobless Claims

[mEDITate-OR:
drop off the charts...
and not even "know", in the economic sense..
where you've gone..
---------
Sold, ma man, did you miss something?

Ms C at the NYTs has covered both the fact that many of the long-term unemployed are older = 55 to 65; and that many of those above 62 have exhausted all their "savings" and assets, & not being able to find any job, are electing to take early SS retirement. When they do, they are dropped from your charts, are they not?

Do we have any way to quantify/identify how many there are doing this?

Of course, those under 62 cannot "retire". Having also exhausted everything they worked their lives to assemble, are they also not dropped from the roles? Do we have any way to quantify/identify how many there are that are being forced to do this?

Does your wife "know" - in the economic sense - how much time your are spending on all of these great charts for U.S.? Has her "marginal propensity to consume" you, dropped off The Charts, so much that she may not "care enough to give her best" anymore?
