Understanding the Employment Rate

The employment rate is a key economic indicator that measures the proportion of the working-age population that is currently employed. It is calculated as:

Employment Rate = (Number of Employed / Working-Age Population) × 100%

This percentage provides insight into the labor market's health and economic activity. A higher employment rate generally indicates a stronger economy with more job opportunities available to the working-age population.

Example Calculation

For example, if there are 150 employed individuals in a working-age population of 200, the employment rate would be:

Employment Rate = (150 / 200) × 100% = 75%

This means that 75% of the working-age population in this example is currently employed.
