Rising stock market is luring older American workers into early retirement
Original: A side-effect of a surging stock market: More boomer and Gen X workers are exiting the labor force

The trend adds to concerns about a shrinking pool of available workers and could have implications for labor supply, wage pressures and the broader economy.
Why now: Markets are rallying, and commentators are flagging the knock-on effect of wealth gains on retirement decisions and labor supply.
