FRED civilian labor force with disability - What does it mean for you?
794 sats \ 4 comments \ @mo 18 Mar charts
Maybe isn't a new thing but, as Bitcoin, there's also this trend going up and look's like isn't stopping! How's that, since 2021 we have a massive 30% increase in people with disabilities1 since Mar 2020? Pandemic related? It's a fact, or just people claiming to be?
and here below woman only (16-54yo only)2 with a 40% since Jan 2021
Mm, maybe the population rise at the same rate3?
Not even 2% increase, so not really related with it!
US workforce is going away, slowly, but constantly, and these numbers are going up too, exponentially! I'd be curious to know what it does means for you?

When people lost their jobs during Covid, going on disability support was a way to keep an income stream.
The way our disability system is set up, it's not easy to rejoin the labor force.

Thanks for sharing this, really interesting the last part:
The math of the 20th century simply won’t work in the 21st. Today’s young are paying taxes to support a level of benefits for today’s old that they have no realistic chance of receiving when they become old. And they know it – just 6% of Millennials say they expect to receive full benefits from Social Security when they retire. Fully half believe they’ll get nothing.
