3 Glossary of Terms Unemployed (U) = Was not employed in survey week, actively searched for a job in last month, and was available for work Labor Force (LF) = Employed + Unemployed Unemployment Rate = U / LF Labor Force Population Rate (LFPR) = LF/Population Note: U.S. statistics are for population age 16 and older June 2,
4 U.S. Unemployment Rate Has Fallen to Below 5% While Italy s Unemployment Rate Remains Above 11% Italy March 2017 USA April 2017 June 2,
5 But U.S. Labor Force Participation Rate Peaked in 2000 And Has Declined by 4 Percentage Points June 2,
6 Observations on the Decline in Labor Force Participation in U.S. The U.S. Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) has declined since 2007 mainly because of population aging and trends that preceded the recession Only Italy has a lower LFPR than the U.S. in O.E.C.D. LFPR is only moderately pro-cyclical, and little prospect of much of a cyclical recovery in the U.S. so long after the recession Decline in LFPR of young people primarily offset by schooling increase LFPR has been declining for prime-working-age men for decades. Primeage men who are not in the labor force (NLF) report notably high incidence of pain, high use of pain medication, and low levels of emotional well-being and low life satisfaction. Participation rate stopped rising for women born after Employed and NLF women report similar levels of subjective well-being, but the subset of NLF women who are not taking care of the house report similar distress and pain levels as NLF men. Population aging will continue to reduce labor force participation. A rise in participation will require a reversal of secular trends and focus on health. June 2,

12 Most of the Decline in U.S. LFPR since 1997 is Accounted for by Aging of the Population l = l i,1997 w i,1997 = 67.1% l = l i,1997 w i,2016 = 63.7% The labor force participation rate fell by 4.2 percentage points from 1997 to Counterfactual: Assign 2016 LFPR for each of 16 age-by-sex groups to population shares. This calculation implies that 3.4/4.2 = 81 percent of the decline in LFPR accounted for by the shift in population shares. June 2,

22 Pain Medication by Gender and Labor Force Status June 2,
23 Follow-up Krueger Pain Survey Sept. 30-Oct 2, 2016 Survey of 571 NLF prime-working-age men using an internet panel provided by Survey Sampling Inc. Weights developed to match CPS in terms of age, race and Hispanic ethnicity. 47% of NLF prime-age men took pain medication on the previous day, similar to ATUS-WB 65% of those who took pain medication reported that they took prescription pain medication (in 36 percent of these cases they took both over-the-counter and prescription pain medication). 40% responded Yes when asked, Does pain prevent you from working on a full-time job for which you are qualified? 66% reported a disability. The higher disability rate than in CPS partly resulted because 16% wrote in Other in addition to the BLS s six conditions. Also possible that men participate in Internet surveys are more likely to suffer a disability, or that the CPS understates the number of prime age men with a disability. 35% reported receiving SSDI June 2,

31 Labor Force Doldrums, Deaths of Despair & U.S. Election Realm of Speculation 30
32 Since 2000 the Rate of Deaths from Opioid Overdoses in the U.S. has Increased 200% 31
33 Analysis of Republican Super Tuesday Primary We still don't know what exactly is causing middle-aged white death rates to rise, but it seems that Donald Trump has adeptly channeled this white suffering into political support. Understanding why this part of America is so unhappy why some white people are literally dying faster may help explain how Trump became such a powerful force in this election.

36 Conclusions Physical, mental & emotional health conditions as well as pain are a severe barrier to work for many prime age NLF men. Don t know direction of causality, but it is a barrier to participation regardless. Stronger macro-economy unlikely to be sufficient to draw many NLF back to LF by itself. Opioid addiction is a major social and economic problem. Focus on interventions such as pain management, physical therapy & mental health services. Could raise LFPR and improve psychological well-being. Preventative health care could also be part of the strategy. June 2,
