Important Information:
What is labor force participation, and what role does it play in the Fed’s mandate from Congress to maximize employment? Why did the post-pandemic workforce “bounce back” faster in some regions and industries than others? The next installment in our District Dialogues event series—which brings together subject matter experts, business and community leaders, and Richmond Fed economists to dialogue on top economic topics facing our region—will dig into national, regional, and state labor market data to discuss the crucial role labor force participation plays in economic growth and stability and why it can vary across different geographies and sectors of the economy.
