In April 2008 total employed, not seasonally adjusted, hit 145.9 million, which was 48.1% of the US population of 303.38 million.
In April 2017 we're at 153.3 million, 47.4% of the US population of 323.58 million.
If we had employment at the 2008 rate, there would be at least 2.4 million more employed today than there are.
