The workforce increased from 155,511,000 in Dec 2012 to 155,654,000 in Jan 2013.I also heard that more people dropped out of the workforce than those that found jobs.
As far as those leaving the workforce, 397,293 retirement benefits were awarded by SS in Jan 2013. On the average 54% retire by age 65, and retirement is not the only reason people leave the work force, some get married and choose to stay home for example.
