well at least we agree (I think) that the unemployed + underemployed = 20% - 25%. But that's like 40M people not 87M people.

One of the problems with counting people over 65 is that 30 - 40 years ago, a lot more people back then didn't live as long. Our economic system isn't designed to keep so many seniors employed.

the idea was for you to retire or die around 65 so that people in their 40s could take your place and people in their 30s could take their place and so on.

But with so many seniors hanging on to their jobs, younger people aren't finding enough job openings.
