Original Note:
Tweet refers to the age 25-54 Labor Force Participation rate (LFP), a subset of the incorrect metric. LFP includes those both working AND seeking a job (& is age 16+). The metric for working age w/jobs is the Employment-Population Ratio (remains below pre-COVID): https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-population-ratio.htm https://www.bls.gov/cps/definitions.htm https://www.factcheck.org/2023/06/factchecking-bidens-campaign-style-speeches/#:~:text=Workforce%20Participation https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300060 https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm
