But a deeper look into other measures of the job market
shows a more nuanced picture. The number of Americans participating
in the labor force is lower now than at any point since 1978. The labor
force participation
rate, which is the percentage of the available workforce that's employed
or actively looking for work, has been steadily declining since its
high of 67.3 percent in early 2000, driven
in large part by the waves of retiring baby boomers, or those born
between 1946
and 1964.
