(Zero Hedge)—As the Magnificent 7 tech stocks and home prices grind higher, there has been a massive surge in the number of Americans taking early retirement. Bloomberg has coined this phenomenon the “Great Retirement Boom.”

Notice that the number of retirees in the US has surged beyond expectations.
This trend emerges as retirement savers pile into tech stocks (we’ve asked: Is this a good idea?).

However, when the financial elites prick the bubbles through a prolonged tightening cycle, we’ll see some those retirees return to the workforce as Walmart greeters.
The numbers have surged because of the previously illegal immigrants who became legal citizens or at least LPRs over the years.
