Axios: Changing labor math


 
6. 💼 Changing labor math
 
A line chart that shows monthly jobs needed to keep unemployment steady from January 2022 to January 2026 under fixed and variable labor force participation assumptions. Fixed participation rises from 97,382 to 164,972 in November 2023, then falls to 29,722 by January 2026. Variable participation peaks at 257,090 in April 2023 and drops below zero in September 2025.Data: Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Chart: Courtenay Brown/Axios

For decades, the U.S. economy needed more than 100,000 new jobs a month just to keep the unemployment rate from rising.

That threshold has now collapsed toward zero, Axios Macro co-author Courtenay Brown writes.

It reflects three key changes:👶 
The youngest baby boomers are reaching retirement age.👵 
Smaller generations are aging into the workforce.✈️ 

Restrictive immigration policy includes deportations and fewer new workers from abroad.Get Axios Macro.
