Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts a survey called the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure unemployment in the United States. Across the country, about 60,000 households are included in the survey sample. These households are grouped by geographic region. A summary of the January 2014 survey results for male respondents in one geographic region is shown in the table below.
Age Group | Employed | Unemployed | Not in the Labor Force | Total |
16 to 19 | 8 | 5 | 10 | 23 |
20 to 24 | 26 | 7 | 23 | 56 |
25 to 34 | 142 | 11 | 28 | 157 |
35 to 44 | 144 | 8 | 32 | 164 |
45 to 54 | 66 | 6 | 26 | 98 |
Over 54 | 65 | 7 | 36 | 152 |
Total | 451 | 44 | 155 | 650 |
