US September Labor Force Participation Rate: Bullish Signal for the Dollar

The US Department of Labor released the September labor force participation rate on September 5, 2025. The actual figure was 62.30%, with no forecast available; the previous reading was also 62.30%.This indicator provides insight into the underlying unemployment rate, as a declining unemployment rate may reflect fewer individuals seeking employment rather than genuine economic improvement attracting more workers. A result above expectations typically supports the US dollar.This data has a medium importance level (2), measures the proportion of people willing to participate in the workforce relative to the total working-age population, is published monthly, and the next release is scheduled for November 7, 2025.
