Measurement Period: August 2024
This indicator shows the number of persons in the labor force, which includes those categorized as employed or unemployed.

Why is this important?

Those who are not in the labor force may be discouraged workers, marginally attached workers, or those who are part-time for economic reasons. To be classified as unemployed, one has to be actively searching for employment or waiting to be recalled from a temporary lay off. Those not in the labor force do not have a job and are not looking for one.
