    • Abstract:
      The article discusses a report about the U.S. employment-population ratio, authored by former U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner Katharine G. Abraham and economist Melissa S. Kearney, published in the September 2020 issue of the "Journal of Economic Literature." It explores the recorded employment-population ratio decline, the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on employment, and the challenges being faced by parents which tend to affect their employment.
