Curious how much of that is due to longer time spent in education, aging population, and growth in stay-at-home-dads.
What I'm saying is I want to understand what percent of them are either staying at home playing video games or leaching off disability

If my own family provides an anecdote: we have one stay at home dad, one bum/leach, two full time employees.

I'm curious about what exactly that figure is too. It doesn't match my expectations from studying labor economics in grad school.
Typically, you restrict it to "working age men" and omit those in school. My recollection is that you see a very flat line, until quite recently when it starts declining.

I'm hoping it's a data collection thing, like people are not being counted as part of the labor force if they are driving for uber or freelancing or something.
If it really is a 20% difference in labor force participation...yeah, pretty bad.

Driving for uber and freelancing should be considered part of the labor force
