- Merrill 7y agoSince the participation rate for women peaked around 2000, the participation rate for men and women both declined a few percent. The curves are essentially parallel. The graph is from "Labor force participation: what has happened since the peak?" by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2016/article/labor-force-participation-what-has-happened-since-the-peak.htm https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2016/article/labor-force-partic...
- Mirioron 7y agoI stand corrected. I saw the graph earlier but it was difficult to tell either the reduction in both groups was similar or not. Looking at the numbers though does paint a similar picture. The rate for men from 2000 to 2016 fell from 92.1% to 88.5% (3.6% drop) and for women from 77% to 74% (3% drop).
