"Since the onset of the recession in 2008, labor force participation in the United States has dropped by more than 3 percentage points. As the chart below shows, looking further back, since peaking in the late 1990s, the percentage of workers has dropped by 4.4 percentage points, meaning millions of individuals are no longer engaging in regular work."
how long until there won't be any jobs for anyone?

Eh, 40 years.
People keep thinking "more automation, less jobs" means eventually the government will give everyone free money and they'll be in paradise, but in reality it's more like everyone living in post cold war Russia
only an absolute moron could read the job participation and interpret it as loss of jobs. in case you didn't know there is an enormous bulk of population known as baby boomers that are retiring and that's why job participation is dropping.
the only reason YOU don't have a job is because you're lazy and incomprehensibly stupid, not because of "the economy".
stop shitting up /biz/ and go the fuck back to /pol/ with these retarded "it's happenings".
