Labor Force Participation Rate (EUR)

The ratio of the labor force (employed and unemployed) to the total working-age population. A rising participation rate is crucial for sustainable economic growth. It indicates more people are confident enough to look for work. A persistent decline can signal long-term structural labor issues, which is bearish for the currency.
