Nebraska Ranks Among Best States for Labor Force Participation

February 26, 2019

During a time when a workforce shortage exists across the country the labor force participation rates for men and women in Nebraska are significantly higher than the rest of the country.  According to the Nebraska Department of Labors’ Workforce Trends online magazine (https://dol.nebraska.gov/Trends), 88.1% of Nebraska men and nearly 80% of Nebraska women ages 20-64 participated in the state’s labor force in 2017. Compared to Nebraskans, a much smaller percentage of American men (82.1%) and women (72.3%) in the same age category participated in the labor force.
