A complicating factor not addressed in that graph is the aging of the U.S. population. I don't have great numbers immediately available, but it looks like over that same period of 10 years the population over 65 has grown from about 40million to 50 million. Those people are still considered in that graph as not participating.

Nope - the statistics only covers working age (18-67)
