Flat/dead in the water is a fairly neutral sign. Remember we are talking about a percentage here not an absolute number. Its not going to go over 100% by definition, and realistically it won't ever be anywhere close to that. Its not like income, production, total employment etc. stats that can just keep growing with no specific limit. Its previous increase was a positive change (even if there are some drawbacks on the whole it was mostly positive), largely having to do with things like greater participation of women in the workforce, reduced discrimination in the workforce, deregulation, and a few other things. Social changes cause more people to get a job and the participation rate goes up. The changes slow down or finish, and the rate doesn't move so much. Not exactly a shock.
