Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Labor Force Participation at Trump-Era High of 63.2% in January
The Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the economy added 304,000 jobs last month, higher than analysts were expecting, said the BLS, CNSNews, CNBC, Fox Business, and others.
Some bullets:
- Number of employed Americans, 156,694,000, slightly below last month’s record (156,945,000), and the unemployment rate increased a tenth of a point to 4.0 percent. That was influenced by the partial federal shutdown.
- But labor force participation rate increased a tenth of a point to 63.2 percent — the highest it’s been on President Trump’s watch.
- Civilian noninstitutionalized population, consisting of all people age 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 258,239,000. That’s lower than last month. Of those, 163,229,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one.
- The 163,229,000 who participated in the labor force equaled 63.2 percent of the 258,239,000 civilian noninstitutionalized population.
- Labor force participation rate was 62.9 percent when Trump took office, and has showed little change since, as retiring baby boomers offset additions to the nation’s workforce.
- In a report released last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said it expects the labor force participation rate to stay about where it is now for the foreseeable future. The highest ever recorded in the modern era was 67.3 percent in 2000, when it began its steady downward drift.
Wages continued rising in January, with average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose over the year, average hourly earnings increased by 85 cents, or 3.2 percent. That’s the best in years.
