Talk:Employment rate

NPOV Dispute

This page reads like an editorial arguing for the use of the E:P ratio instead of other measures one might use to measure the health of a country's labor force. For example: "The employment-population ratio is many American economists' favorite gauge of the American jobs picture" is completely unsubstantiated and fails to capture a worldwide point of view. The next sentence then cites a corporate economist who apparently is not famous enough to merit his own Wikipedia page. The article continues with this same tone.

Perhaps you could add a controversy section and list representatives of those who favor EMRatio versus those who favor others? It however is not fair to suggest that EMRatio is favored only by unknown economists. Krugman for example has written many articles in favor of EMRatio. As I recall in the US case, he favors EMratio for a particular age of workers in order to avoid a statistical aberration caused by the boomer generation retiring.

This primarily pertains to the United States and should specify such. In addition this source provides a better description of concept. http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mi/wiki/1-5-Employment-to-population-ratio.ashx Admice900. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Admice900 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

@Admice900, J JMesserly, and Caroline B NYC: This article still has a POV tag. Is the article still biased toward economists who favor this ratio? Jarble (talk) 13:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
