    gained jobs… is that a different way of saying they lost their pension money and were forced to reenter the workforce?

    I guess those 75+ olders are the “shovel ready” people that Obama has been thinking about.
    Of course, the unemployment data only counts the people who are eligible for benefits. Maybe 9% of them died?
    Can a 16 year old get unemployment benefits?

    How much of this is related to the first boomers turning 65 and choosing to work AND collect social security benefits?
