I found no tables on
the internet that would produce the US population by age. I was looking for each age to be counted to
determine my own age bands based on a 10 year span.
What I found was
uneven age spans from 9 to 29 years. If we look at the
US population beginning with Age 0-15, we would get some idea of those who are
not in the Labor Force. If the next
group was Age 16-21 we would see the labor force that should be available for
minimum wage jobs. If we saw the next group as Age 22-32, we could see how many
should be entering their occupations.
The Age 33 to 54 group should tell us now many are experienced in their
occupations. The next group should be Age 55 to 66 to reflect how many are at
the top of their occupations. The next
group should be Age 66-100 that would show the number of Social Security
Retirement and Medicare beneficiaries. Many people continue to work fewer hours
per week after age 66.
The data I found is as
follows:
Age 0-14 61.176 million
Age 15-24 43.352
million
Age 25-54 128.863
million
Age 55-64 42.180 million
Age 65+ 51.055 million
The total is 326.626
million
The working age group in this data totals 214.395
million.
The Labor Force Participation Rate is 62.9%
And that would indicate that 134.854 million
working age US citizens are working.
The population data from the site is as follows:
US Population is 326,625,791 (July 2017 est.).
0-14
years: 18.73%
(male 31,255,995/female 29,919,938)
15-24 years: 13.27% (male 22,213,952/female 21,137,826)25-54 years: 39.45% (male 64,528,673/female 64,334,499)55-64 years: 12.91% (male 20,357,880/female 21,821,976)65 years and over: 15.63% (male 22,678,235/female 28,376,817) (2017
est.)
I ran into bogus data
that doesn’t match, but I included Age 15 in the working age group.
The US Labor Force was
approximately 160 million in 2018. This was the total number of working age US
citizens above age 16.
The US Labor Force
(ages 25 to 54) totaled 104,071,000 in November 2018.
