If what you and certain economists are saying were true, the participation rate should be moving up esp in metros where the unemployment rates are dropping below 4 and 5%. Instead, labor shortages are developing in the most robust industries:

Bah! Mere facts! What are facts in the face of ungrounded speculation?

Tim doesn't need facts. They get in the way of his theories.

Apparently it accounts for much more than that

No, it doesn't.

because there is very little change in the participation rate even as unemployment drops below 5% in many metros.

There was significant change in the participation rate, not "very little". I guess you could cherry pick some area where it hasn't change much, but you don't even do that, you show no local data for the participation rate anywhere.
