Who will make up this 1980
workforce of 100 million persons?
The BLS tells us that there will
be proportionately fewer teen-
agers and persons over 45 in the
labor force 10 years from now,
and that there will be a modest in-
crease in the 20-24 age bracket.
But the percentage of 25-34-year-
old workers will rise from the 20
percent of 1968 to 25 percent in
1980. In numbers, the increase
will be from 16.5 million to more
than 26 million in 1980. The 35-44-
year bracket will decline from 21
to 19 percent of the workforce.
