The rate is a frequently referred to economic indicator. A rising labor force participation rate means a growing share of the working-age population is employed or looking for a job; a falling rate means a shrinking share of people working/looking. Fast labor force growth is tied to faster GDP growth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The inverse is true for slower labor force growth.
Various factors influence the labor force participation rate. For example, the rate often falls during recessions or economic shocks, such as the Great Recession or COVID-19 pandemic. It is also impacted by non-economic factors like the aging of the population or the choice of some to attend college rather than work.

In July 2026, the labor force participation rate was 5.9 points below its early 2000 peak.​

How does labor force participation differ by age?​

In July 2026, the labor force participation rate among people ages 55 and older was 36.9%. It was 83.4% among those ages 25–54, a group often referred to as prime-age workers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics attributes the decline in the labor force participation rate over recent decades primarily to the aging population. Older adults are less likely to work than younger ones. As older Americans comprise an increasing share of the population, labor force participation declines accordingly.

The labor force participation rate among those 55 and older was 46 points lower than adults ages 25–54 in July.​

Which states have the highest and lowest labor force participation?​

In June, the most recent state-level data, the rate was as high as 69.6% in Nebraska and as low as 53.9% in West Virginia. It was 70.3% in Washington, DC, but the capital more closely resembles a city rather than a state. The rate varies nationwide as a result of varied demographics and economies.

West Virginia had June 2026's lowest labor force participation rate.​

Is this raw data correct? Then its obvious. Since 2008 the Dems have been helping to sink the economy by making people lose jobs and go on government aid.

During Trumps first term. It increased. All Dems it went down
