There’s a higher percentage of men aged 25 to 34 working than there has been since the Great Recession.
This was highlighted in Friday’s jobs report which documented that the employment-to-population ratio for this demographic reached 86.5% in March, an increase of 0.8% from February.
It’s a reversal of fortune for a group that economists had been worried about. In 2016, for instance, the Kansas City Fed published a paper, Why Are Prime-Age Men Vanishing from the Labor Force?. “In 2011-2013, it was thought that they [men aged 25-34] don’t have necessary skills so they aren’t working,” said Dean Baker, a prominent economist and co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
