(None of these examines or acknowledges the numbers of people in the existing talent pool, and thus shed no light on talent glut, surplus, talent being wasted; nor shortage; nor how vigorously work is being sought, nor how vigorously employees are being sought, nor the ratio of effort used to exclude employment seekers to the effort used to seek employees, nor effort & resource invested to train new-hires or retained employees...   All of that is totally ignored, hidden, buried, encrypted.   That information might be embarrassing when compared with the lobbying stories, fables, tall tales, narratives, the compensation to productivity ratios, executive compensation to production employee compensation ratios, productivity of founders/inventors vs. the worst/least-productive marginal employee...)

Components of USA Civilian Non-Institutionalized Working-Age Population (historical)

percentages of USA Civilian Non-Institutionalized Working-Age Population:   percentages of Men employed have been falling while percentages of Women employed geberally increased from 1929 to about 2000, since which both have been tending to fall an not fully recover during recoveries from recession under the practice of neo-Keynesian fiscal & monetary/currency actions

Age Ranges

ratios by age ranges: there is a glitch with accessing the data via the "Date Retrieel Tools > Series Report" interface, and a small glitch in one item of data. It is unresponsive, so it may take a few days to get these data & graphs updated with the 2023 September figures.

Definitions & Descriptions:

Abbreviations: (skip)
CivPop = CNIP16+ =

civilian, non-institutionalized population 16 years old & older     =     employed + not-employed     =     employed + UEASW + NILF     CLF16+ + NILF

UEASW =

unemployed and actively seeking work

CLF16+ =

civilian labor force 16 years old & older = employed + unemployed and actively seeking work     =     employed + UEASW

NILF =

not in labor force = not employed and not actively seeking work

unemployment rate = U3 =

the percentage     UEASW/CLF16+ * 100     (this is the most commonly reported indicator)

not-employed =

NILF + UEASW

EmpPT =

employed part-time

EmpFT =

employed full-time

EmpPTForNonEconReasons =

employed part-time for non-economic reasons (i.e. part-time work was freely chosen as a personal preference and not because full-time jobs are not available)

EmpPTForEconReasons =

employed part-time for economic reasons (i.e. full-time jobs are not available or workable due to financial/economic constraints)

Emp/Pop = Emp/Pop ratio or percentage =

numbers in category who are employed as per cent of civilian population for the category = number employed / civilian non-institutionalized population for the category * 100 (where category can be age range, sex, race/ethnicity, occupation, industry, education level, citizen, non-citizen, native, foreign-born...)

Discouraged =

Not in Labor Force, Searched For Work (within last 12 months, but not this month) and Available, Discouraged with Reasons For Not Currently Looking

Marginally Attached =

Not in Labor Force, Searched For Work (within last 12 months, but not this month) and Available

LFPR =

labor force participation rate(s) = (UEASW+employed)/CNIP (for category)

dearth =

scarcity, lack, dear, shortage, insufficiency, inadequate supply of jobs

--- historical ---
CNIP14+ =

civilian, non-institutionalized population 14 years old & older

CLF14+ =

civilian labor force 14 years old & older = employed + unemployed and actively seeking work
