The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation

COVID probably hasn't had a major impact in that respect there are a total of 859,354 deaths in the entire country which is only 0.2% of the population, but of the working population it is even smaller than that as almost half of that is in individuals who are 75 or older and unlikely to be participating in the workforce dropping us to less than 0.14% of people being effected, or slightly more than 1 in 1000 people.

That's incredibly helpful, thanks! I assumed the deaths were skewed somewhat to elderly but not to such an extreme. I wonder how this impacts calculations of e.g. social security payments and wealth transfers in the US.

Thanks for replying with that... there's no mass piles of bodies in the streets impacting the workforce.
