Labor participation rate includes my 2 year old son and retired grandfather. Using it as some gauge of economic health is an awful idea. Not to mention we have the largest generation hitting retirement age and the post millennial generation massively delaying workforce entry by going into college. Think those might have a significant influence on labor participation rate?

 Why? Those people still need to be supported by something don't they? You can't just strike all your expenses from your balance sheet and call your company 'healthy'.
