The employment to population ratio in the US was at 68.21% in 2015. The ratio had declined during the global recession of 2008-2011 and the US crisis during 2009, but since the country’s recovery from these crises, the number has improved steadily. In February 2015, a total of 4.65 million people were separated from their jobs (this number includes involuntary layoffs, voluntary quits, discharges, and other separations like retirements). In that same period, approximately 4.92 million people found new jobs. These numbers are indicative of positive economic developments in the country, and will have a favorable impact on the economy at large.
