Jobs Outlook: Labor Force Participation Rate Increases by 0.1%

by Spencer Irvine on

That’s not too encouraging:

There were 94,517,000 Americans not participating in the labor force in June, a decline of 191,000 people from the previous month, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.

The bureau counts those not in the labor force as those who do not have a job and did not actively seek one in the past four weeks.

The labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of the population that has a job or actively looked for one in the past month, increased from 62.6 percent in May to 62.7 percent in June.
