Don't forget about prime age labor participation rate: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300060.

Definition?

It's the percentage of people aged 25-54 (prime age) who are either employed or unemployed and looking for work. It's considered a good indicator of the health of the labor market.

How insufferable and/or out of touch and/or smartass does one have to be to pretend this qualifies as popularly accessible information? I cannot even imagine...
