Summary View help for Summary
These data are publicly available as part of Michigan's Open Data Portal and are updated regularly by the state. The labor force participation rate is a measure of the labor force as a percentage of the civilian non-institutional population aged 16 years or older. During the latter half of the twentieth century, the labor force participation rate increased dramatically, largely driven by an increasing number of women joining the labor force. Since 2001, the rate has steadily declined, exacerbated by the 2001 and 2008 recessions.
This release features monthly labor force participation rates for January 1976 through September 2018.
