Dean Baker's recent report on the US employment situation mentions an overall EPOP (employment-to-population ratio) of 58.2 percent. How is that ratio defined in US statistics? Is it (1) employment over entire population? (2) employment over adult population (15+)? (3) employment over working age population (15-65)? (4) other? Probably not (1) - for that definition i have the figure of 47.3 percent for 2003.
Can someone please clarify

Civilian noninstitutional population over the age of 16. That is, not in the military, prison, or a mental institution. It's not capped at 65 because plenty of people over the age of 65 still work.
