Gives overall labor force projections with a closer look at 3 groups with significant changes: men age 25-54, people 55 and over, and women 20-44. Depicts projected population changes and implications of the projections in terms of median age of the labor force, age composition of the population, and economic dependency ratios. (SK)

By 2005, the labor force is expected to increase by 24 million. Working women's growth rate is expected to slow but still increase faster than men's. Different racial/ethnic groups are projected to have widely varied labor force growth rates. (SK)

Includes "Introduction" (Neal H. Rosenthal); "Labor Force Projections" (Howard N. Fullerton, Jr.); "Industry Employment Projections" (Arthur Andreassen); and "Occupational Employment Projections" (Carolyn M. Veneri). (JOW)

As the baby-boom generation ages, the median age of the work force will rise to a new record in 2006. The Hispanic labor force could exceed that of blacks. (Author)

Generation'' tables of working life, showing each age group (birth cohort) from entry into the labor force until the last worker withdraws or dies, are constructed to provide a more realistic estimate of work life expectancy than conventional period life tables. (MF)

Presents new projections for the 1995 labor force with alternative demographic and economic assumptions. Lists significant changes in the labor force trends reflecting the aging of the baby-boom generation and the growth of the Black population. (NRJ)

Labor force diversity will continue to increase; as the baby boom generation gets older, the median age of the labor force will rise to record levels. (Author)

With the aging of the baby-boom generation, the growth of the labor force will slow, but its diversity will increase. (Author)

In a look ahead at the 1995 labor force, all three projections--high, middle, and low--indicate that women will account for two-thirds of the growth, most of which will occur in the prime working-age group; the Black labor force will grow twice as fast as the White. (CT)

Women's labor force participation rates have increased significantly over the past 50 years, narrowing the gap been rates for women and men. However, aging will play a dominant role in the rates for 2015-2025. (Author)

Among the five rounds of labor force projections conducted between 1970 and 1980, those estimates produced in 1978 yielded results closest to actual 1985 values. (Author)

The labor force is expected to expand at an annual rate of 1.2 percent, a much slower pace than in 1976-88; fast-growing segments include Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other minority groups. (Author)

Data from 1970 on work life expectancy indicate that the average number of years spent in the labor force is declining for men and rising for women, with an increase in the number of working women with children under six. Tables supplement the discussion. (LH)

Prepared as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' periodic reassessment of its projections of the future growth trends of the various sectors of the American economy, new labor force projections to 1990 are presented based on trends in labor force participation as observed through 1975 and on the most recent population projections of the U.S.…

A special labor force report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the work force will grow more slowly from 1975 to 1990 than in recent years, largely because there will be a smaller number of youths reaching working age. (Editor)
