Original Note:
Biden is referencing BLS data that shows the Labor Force Participation Rate (LBFR) among 25-54 year olds at a post-2008 high. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01300060 However, BLS defines "working age" as 16+. https://www.bls.gov/bls/demographics.htm Excluding pandemic lockdowns, the LBFR among Biden's cited demographic was last this low in the 1970s. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART
