Retiring boomers slowing labour force growth, says StatsCan...Really?

The first comment in this article touches on a couple of interesting points.


1. Immigration policy, and, 2. Greed or money mismanagement.

Hmmm, our politicians dictate how many immigrants are allowed into the country. If you have comments about immigration policy tell your representative. Secondly, I admit money mismanagement is their fault for not preparing for retirement. However, many lost retirement savings in the latest economic meltdown. Something investment banks and agencies chose to ignore at the time. Lastly, some choose to continue working because they love what they are doing! Many own their own businesses and hire the incoming twentysomethings.

What do you think? By not retiring at 65 are you forcing newcomers into the workforce out of a job?
