Thursday, September 14, 2023

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In spite of a higher labor participation rate in August, many of these new workforce participants are finding themselves without full-time jobs paying a living wage, according to the August True Rate of Unemployment (TRU) report by the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Key Points: 
  • While the increase might seem small, that increase – combined with a 0.2 percentage point increase in the labor force participation rate – indicates that even though more Americans are working, many are unable to find jobs paying over the poverty line.
  • Similarly, the official U.S. unemployment rate issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics also increased, from 3.5% to 3.8%.
  • "Federal policy to slow inflation has focused on raising interest rates to slow business expansion, and by extension, wage and job growth.
  • The TRU for women improved by 0.3 percentage points (from 27.7% to 27.4%), while the TRU for men increased by 0.3 percentage points, from 18.9% to 19.2%.
