Labor Force Base Year Data: The OKI labor force is a function of the population as determined by a labor force participation ratio (the number of employed persons in the labor force per persons 16 and over). The most recent participation ratio was obtained from the 2000 Census at the census block group level and applied to the TAZs associated with each block group. Future Year Data: OKI future year labor force projections were based on projections of national labor force participation rates by age and sex cohorts from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. These rates were then applied to the projected county age/sex cohort and disaggregated to the TAZ level. |
