TheUnitedStateslaborforcethetotalnumberofpeopleovertheageof16whoareemployedorareactivelyseekingworktotaled127millionin1992.Bytheyear2005,thelaborforceisexpectedtoreach151million,anincreaseof19%.Thisincreaserepresentsaslightslowdowninthegrowthofthelaborforcecomparedwithgrowthduringtheprevious13-yearperiod,1979-1992.TheslowdownislargelyduetoslowerpopulationgrowthintheUnitedStates.
