Employment Population Ratio - 62.7
Unemployed - 7,245
Unemployment Rate - 4.7
Not in Labor Force - 79,462
% of Employ Pop not in Labor Force - 33%
Labor Particip. Rate = 65.9
Average workweek (hours) = 33.8
Average Hourly Earnings (not adj for inflation) = 17.58

Employment Population Ratio - 58.5
Unemployed - 15,700
Unemployment Rate - 10.2
Not in Labor Force - 82,575
% of Employ Pop not in Labor Force - 38%

October 2016 (Current)

Employment population - 254,321
Civilian Labor Force - 159,712
Employed - 151,925
Employment Population Ratio - 59.7
Unemployed - 7,787
Unemployment Rate - 4.9
Not in Labor Force - 94,609
% of Employ Pop not in Labor Force - 37%
Labor Particip. Rate = 62.8
Average workweek (hours) = 34.4
Average Hourly Earnings (not adj for inflation) = 25.92

So in Summary, from today to beginning of recession

Employment Pop = +38,156
Civil Labor Force = +5,737
employed = +13,650
emp pop ratio = +1
unemp = -7,913
unemp rate = -5%
not in labor force = +12,034
% of Employ Pop not in Labor Force = -1

That spells out, stagnation, which is what we've been saying.

In relation, from today to pre-recession

Employment Pop = +16,768
Civil Labor Force = +6,459
employed = +5,918
emp pop ratio = -3%
unemp = +542
unemp rate = +.2
not in labor force = +15,147
% of Employ Pop not in Labor Force = +4%

ETA: And this does not take into account going from full time to part time jobs. I'll try and find those numbers.

ETA ETA: I will update with additional numbers for each period like labor particip rate, hourly work week, earnings, etc...
