Labor Force Participation Rate

"Labor Force Participation Rate" shows the monthly labor force participation rate from January 2020 to June 2022.

GDP, Employment by Sector

"GDP by Sector" shows what percentage of the total GDP each industry holds Pre-COVID-19.

  • DATA SOURCE FOR "GDP by Sector": CAGDP2 GDP - NATIONAL AND TEXAS >

  • Some data may be unavailable due to confidential information by the Bureau of Economic Analysis' CAGDP2 Report. Thus, some industries may have no data to report and are given a value of 0.00. To remedy this issue the best we can, we added a variable called "Missing values (Estimate)" that holds/bundles all industries with no data to report. We accomplish this by subtracting the total GDP by the sum of all industries with data to report. Different shades of colored bars represent the bar's percentage intensity.
