Labor Force Participation Rate for 2019 is listed below by month.

June

May
2019 62.8%
April

March
2019 63.0%
February

January
2019 63.2%
In
January 2017 the rate was 62.9%. In April 2000, the rate topped out at 67.3%
71.7% of
men over age 20 are in the labor force.
59.0% of
women over age 20 are in the labor force.
35.5% of
teenagers age 16 to 19 are in the labor force.
There are
approximately 37% of working-age US citizens between ages 16 and 65, who are
not in the work force.
Moving
the labor force participation rate beyond 63.2% will require continued addition
of middle class jobs. The crackdown on illegal immigration should lower US
welfare costs and free up minimum wage jobs for teenagers.
Comments
Our
immediate goal is to restore the US Labor Force Participation Rate to 67.3% to
recover from downward slide that started in April 2000.
Excessive
welfare immigration, open borders, refusal to extract oil and offshoring
manufacturing since 1989 are the root causes of this decline in the
participation rate from 67.3% to our current 63.2%. We actually need 9 million
more manufacturing jobs restored to rural cities to fully recover.
The
answer to getting global-minded companies to move manufacturing back to the US
is Import Tariffs on foreign manufactured goods sold to US consumers. To get
these Tariffs removed, foreign companies would simply need to move their
manufacturing plants to the US.
