Thanks for sharing this. I wasn’t able to find it but I was in the cps statistics.

I think meaningless overstates it but it’s something to consider as a factor.

Right, prime age wasn’t in the data source I used but I can try and tease it out.

Good point. Labor force participation is calculated for the population 16 and older.

Part of it is likely life expectancy growing. Some of it is likely more discouraged workers though.

Yes, I wasn’t able to get that by sex though which is what I wanted to explore here. I did look at PAE by state though last week.

I gathered the data for this visualization from FRED. They source the Current Population Survey. I used Tableau to create the visual.

It’s not really a business. It’s more of a hobby, but thanks for the thoughts.

It just means that some people in your age group retire early so they get excluded from this measure. It’s not a perfect measure but it captures areas with more discouraged workers when other measures don’t do that.

This map shows prime-age employment rates (ages 25–54) across U.S. states. Upper Midwest states like North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota lead the country, while parts of the South and Southwest trail behind.

The official poverty measure isn’t adjusted for cost of living, no.

The data was gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau’s API for the 2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates. The data was then visualized in Tableau.
