In 2024, the U.S. employment rate stood at 60.1 percent. Employed persons consist of: persons who did any work for pay or profit during the survey reference week; persons who did at least 15 hours of unpaid work in a family-operated enterprise; and persons who were temporarily absent from their regular jobs because of illness, vacation, bad weather, industrial dispute, or various personal reasons. The employment-population ratio represents the proportion of the civilian non-institutional population that is employed. The monthly unemployment rate for the United States can be found here.
In 2024, the employment rate of the workforce of 55 years and older decreased to 37.3 percent. Employment rate among young adults (age 16-24) was at 50.9 percent in 2024. For monthly updates on employment in the United States visit the annual national employment rate here.

These data are taken from the ANNUAL datasets from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), providing labour market data back to 1996 for the NUTS2 areas in Wales, and back to 2001 for the local authorities in Wales. The availability of local authority data is dependent upon on an enhanced sample (around 350 per cent larger) for the annual LFS, which commenced in 2001. For years labelled 1996 to 2004 in this dataset, the actual periods covered are the 12 months running from March in the year given to February in the following year (e.g. 2001 = 1 March 2001 to 28 February 2002). Since 2004, the annual data have been produced on a rolling annual basis, updated every three months, and the dataset is now referred to as the Annual Population Survey (APS). The rolling annual averages are on a calendar basis with the first rolling annual average presented here covering the period 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2004, followed by data covering the period 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005, with rolling quarterly updates applied thereafter. Note therefore that the consecutive rolling annual averages overlap by nine months, and there is also a two-month overlap between the last period presented on the former March to February basis, and the first period on the new basis. The population can be broken down into economically active and economically inactive populations. The economically active population is made up of persons in employment, and persons unemployed according to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition. This report allows the user to access these data. Although each measure is available for different population bases, there is an official standard population base used for each of the measures, as follows. Population aged 16 and over: Economic activity level, Employment level, ILO unemployment level Population aged 16-64: Economic inactivity level 16-64 population is used as the base for economic inactivity. By excluding persons of pensionable age who are generally retired and therefore economically inactive, this gives a more appropriate measure of workforce inactivity. Rates for each of the above measures are also calculated in a standard manner and are available in the dataset. With the exception of the ILO unemployment rate, each rate is defined in terms of the shares of population that fall into each category. The ILO unemployment rate is defined as ILO unemployed persons as a percentage of the economically active population. Although each rate is available for the different population bases, there is an official standard population base used for each of the rates, as follows. Percentage of population aged 16-64: Economic activity, Employment,. Economic inactivity Percentage of economically active population aged 16 and over: ILO unemployment
The adult employment-to-population in 2022 was higher in Iceland than any other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country, at 83.3 percent. The Netherlands ranked second with nearly 82 percent. On the other hand, it was lowest in Türkiye. The average for the entire bloc was 67.8. The employment-to-population ratio is a valuable addition to the unemployment rate because it includes the entire adult population, whereas the unemployment rate only considers those who are working or actively seeking a job, that is, only the workforce.
Civilian labor force data consists of the number of employed persons, the number of unemployed persons, an unemployment rate and the total count of both employed and unemployed persons (total civilian labor force). Labor force refers to an estimate of the number of persons, 16 years of age and older, classified as employed or unemployed. The civilian labor force, which is presented in these data tables, excludes the Armed Forces, i.e., the civilian labor force equals employed civilians plus the unemployed. Employed persons are those individuals, 16 years of age and older, who did any work at all during the survey week as paid employees, in their own business, profession or farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family operated business. Also counted as employed are those persons who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or personal reasons. Individuals are counted only once even though they may hold more than one job. Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work during the survey week but who made specific efforts to find a job within the previous four weeks and were available for work during the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for work, but were not actively seeking work because they were either waiting to be called back to a job from which they were laid off or waiting to report to a new job within 30 days. The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed persons as a percent of the total civilian labor force.

The employment rate refers to the number of people actually in employment (employed labour force) to the population aged 15-64, as an annual average. It gives an idea of the effective participation in employment of a population that could potentially work. See also: - on our website 'Labour Market Statistics', The Employment Accounts and the IWEPS Working Paper No 13. Note: From 2011, the indicators are calculated on the basis of Steunpunt Werk estimates, which showed a break in series in 2017: the methodology for estimating non-taxable students is changed and employees of international organisations have been included in the employed assets. In 2019, the source used by Steunpunt Werk for the number of outgoing cross-border commuters changes, which leads to a drop in employment, and therefore also in activity, and an increase in the unemployment rate, which can be significant in some border municipalities. As a result of this problem and the delay in Steunpunt Werk’s estimates due to the increasing difficulty of obtaining sufficiently detailed data on employed workers, from 2019 the indicators are calculated on the basis of provisional estimates from IWEPS.
