Actually, that should be how it is. However, it looks to me like the BLS uses unemployment as compared to previous months, as one of the primary tools for the report. That would be fine, but it does not take into account the boomers retiring. Maybe in another part of their equation the compensate for it. However, so far I have not been able to find anything reference that piece of the puzzle.
