65% in January 2009 dropped to 62.7% in september 2014 and has not went up since
WHICH MEANS FEWER PEOPLE ARE WORKING THAN WHEN BUSH WAS PRESIDENT.
No god damn wonder you support obama you are to dumb to breath without guberment help.
What you wanted was the Employment-population ratio, but let's stick with the labor force participation rate
January 2009 the Labor force was 154,210,000 (consisting of 142,152,000 employed and 12,058,000 unemployed)
The population was 234,739,000. So 154,210,000/234,739,000= .657
September 2014 was labor force of 155,862,000 (146,600,000 employed and 9,262,000 unemployed)
Population was 248,446,000 so 155,862,000/248,446,000 = .627
Bigger labor force, more people working, lower percent of the population
It's the number of working age adults in the work force it keeps dropping while obama is president
AS it did for Dubya, AND has LONG beren predicted
But since 2000, the labor force rate has been steadily declining as the baby-boom generation has been retiring. Because of this, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago expects the labor force participation rate to be lower in 2020 than it is today, regardless of how well the economy does.
