employment rate
Workforce participation metric
Employment rate is the percentage of working-age people who have jobs, measuring how much of the potential workforce is actually employed.
It differs from the unemployment rate, which counts only those actively seeking work.
The employment rate fell sharply during the recession.
Economists use it alongside other indicators to assess labor market health.
