Trump makes America 1969 again
February 2026 might as well be July 1969, when the percentage of Americans working hit 59% for the first time.
America does not even come close to working up to its potential.
(geek note: population estimates get updated at the beginning of each year, which means current percentage calculations and comparisons such as this one will not exactly match previous ones posted here in 2025, 2024, 2023, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera)

We haven't had a monthly average number at or above 300k since Jan 2022.

MA78A: The civilian employment level was 59.3% of population in Jan 2026, which was the average level first achieved way back in 1978 lol
The White House doesn't have a clue.
Federal government employment in Jan 2026 is down 324k since Trump took over, with local government employment up 140k and state government employment down 72k
That's a net hit to government jobs at all levels of 256k in Trump's first year.
The federal government last averaged 2.69 million employees in 1966. The Jan 2026 level is 2.686 million.
