The share of Americans aged 25-54 in the labor force hit 82.6% in 1/19, the best level since 8/09. The main reason is rising labor force participation of young women. Since the end of the recession on 6/30/09, the only demographic group with a higher rate now than then is women aged 25-34. Men 25-34, men and women 35-44, and men and women 45-54 remain below their 6/09 levels.
