Background
The employment-population ratio has always been looked at for labor statistics and where specific areas are economically, but after the recent recession it has been looked at more by the American people, especially economists. The National Bureau Of Economics states that the recession that began in 2007 ended in June 2009. During 2009 and 2010, however, many areas were still struggling economically, which lies the reason the employment-population ratio still has the eyes of Americans and people around the world.
