	Labor force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, the labor force is defined as people 16 years old or older who are employed or looking for work.
		The ratio between the labor force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range) is known as the labor force participation rate (# of employed workers/total # in labor force).
		In the West during the latter half of the 20th century, the labor force participation rate increased significantly, largely due to the increasing number of women entering the workplace.

		The research suggests that the labor shortages and skills gaps that have persisted in the late 1990's will be compounded by a relatively flat labor force in the future for the four- county Milwaukee metro area.
		The white population entering the labor force has declined while the white population leaving the labor force is projected to increase dramatically as the post-World War II baby boomers approach retirement age.

	Women in the Labor Force
		Like men, women in preindustrial America contributed to their household and community economies through paid and unpaid labor, but the material rewards of their labor were limited by cultural beliefs, social practices, and laws that subordinated women to men.
		Slavery, the labor system that built the South and spurred industrialization in the North, starkly illustrates not only women's employment in hard manual labor, but also the importance of unpaid labor to regional and national economic growth.
		The labor force participation of immigrant women (first from Europe and later from Latin America and Asia) was constrained by employer discrimination; immigration policies that made employment status uncertain; and attitudes within their own cultures that restricted some married immigrant women to home-based outwork, family-operated enterprises, or industries that employed family-based groups.
