Well, according to those flaming liberals over at Bloomberg...

"According to data from the Current Population Survey (from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau) there are three main reasons the labor force participation rate fell: retirement, disability, and more people in school—with a discouraged worker falling into any of those categories.
The primary reason people don't work is retirement, and more people retired during the recession...."
