Stock-fueled retirements are shrinking the US labor force

Original: A stock-fueled retirement party is thinning the labor force

Soaring stock markets and asset prices are letting older Americans retire earlier and in greater numbers, a trend Yahoo Finance says is thinning the labor force. Workers whose retirement savings have been swollen by market gains are leaving jobs sooner than planned, tightening labor supply just as employers still struggle to fill positions.

Why now: Strong equity markets are accelerating retirements, raising fresh concerns about labor shortages and economic growth.
