Insights

Key Takeaways

The United States had a relatively stable working-age population percentage through the 1990s and early 2000s, hovering around 66-67%. This percentage reached a high of 67.2% in the mid-2000s before starting a slow decline, falling to 64.9% by 2022. This decrease reflects the aging Baby Boomer generation and declining birth rates. The U.S. faces challenges in maintaining a balanced workforce as a result, with potential implications for labor supply and economic growth.
