Labor Participation Rate

Labor Participation Rate: This is a measure of the active segment of the economy’s labor force. This number takes in account the amount of people working or those actively looking for employment. The labor participation rate decreases when discouraged unemployed people stop looking for work, which often happens during a recession.

Large Cap

Large Cap: Large Cap is an abbreviation for the term "large market capitalization" and refers to the companies with a market capitalization value of more than $10 billion. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of a company's shares outstanding by its stock price per share. Large cap companies tend to be more established with less risk than small or mid-cap stocks.
