EMPLOYMENT RATE
The US unemployment rate fell to 5.2 percent in August 2021, the lowest level since March 2020 and in line with market expectations, as the labor market continued its steady recovery in the aftermath of US business reopenings and despite reports of labor supply shortages and concerns about the lingering threat of COVID-19 resurgence.
While the rate remained significantly higher than the pre-crisis level of about 3.5 percent, it is expected to decline further in the coming months, aided by robust economic activity and labor demand.
United States Labor Force Participation Rate
In August 2021, the labor force participation rate remained unchanged at 61.7 percent, and has remained within a narrow range of 61.4 percent to 61.7 percent since June 2020.
Additionally, the activity rate was 1.6 percentage points lower in February 2020 compared to February 2019.
