Prime Working-Age Pop Growing Again

Here’s an important chart that says a lot about the economy. After 25 years of deceleration, the growth rate of the prime working-age population is once again accelerating.

The segment of the population that’s between 25 and 54 and not in jail or the military had actually been shrinking for a few years. The growth rate peaked in 1986, and it gradually declined for many years. Now it’s growing again. The segment that’s between 20 and 24 is now the largest.
