CJ,
If things were as you are trying to portray them, in areas with labor shortages, the labor participation rate should be going up.
That's the same thing Ted said, but Tim already refuted that talking point:

Message 30081624
By far the biggest contributors to the drop in participation were:
1) that the population of those aged 25-54 increased by 1.12 million, and yet its labor force actually shrank by 1.53 million—a net loss of 2.65 million; and
2) 2.53 million people aged 16-24 failed to enter the labor force compared to the rate in 2003..
