Dude..Students and retirees aren't counted in the workforce participation rate. Neither are parents who stay at home by choice. The Labor department counts those who are working, or looking for work and includes those who aren't drawing unemployment insurance. What this means is that 3 out of every 10 Minnesotans who want a job don't have one.
Florida's current rate is somewhere in the 67% region which while higher than the national average is lower than it should be because tourism is the third largest industry. People up north who don't have jobs don't go to the beach or Disney on vacation.
It really is all mathematics.
