Labor force participation slipped a bit, meaning fewer people are working or looking for jobs: just over half the population is employed now.

Agriculture still employs the most people (41%), but services and industry aren't far behind.
Most people are self-employed (56%), much more than those in regular jobs or casual gigs.
