Question ID: 729060
How many jobs were there in the US in the 1960's?  (There are about
150 million today depending on how you count.) I need a good reference
link more than I need an actual number.  I don't care about the exact
year.  1960 is as good as 1963, etc.

According to the Census Bureau, there were 65.8 million people
employed in 1960, and a 5.5% unemployment rate:

Employment Status of the Civilian Population: 1929 to 2002


Let me know if there's anything else you need on this.
