The employment rate denominator is the source population, not the labour force. The source population includes all working-age people not in the military or institutions, but the labour force includes only those persons who either have a job or are looking for one. In 2001, the latter number was 16 million people. (See Labour force.) While the source population grows fairly steadily from one year to the next, the labour force tends to fluctuate as persons become encouraged or discouraged by prevailing economic conditions.
