County-Level Labor Force Participation
By Marilyn Cannon, Regional Economist — The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provides unemployment statistics for the nation. BLS does the data capturing, calculations, and publication. It distributes both statewide and county-level labor force, employment, and unemployment statistics. One variable that BLS does not provide at the county level is the labor force participation rate (LFPR). This article addresses how county-level participation rates are calculated.
