employment rates
Workforce participation metrics
Employment rates measure the proportion of a population that is currently working, typically expressed as a percentage of working-age adults who hold jobs.
This figure differs from unemployment rates, which track only those actively seeking work.
Economists and policymakers use employment rates to gauge economic health and labor market participation.
The employment rate among women has risen steadily over the past fifty years.
