What isnotable, however, were the relatively low levels of labor force participation in Faichuk in 1994 and in Oksoritod in2000, perhaps suggesting fewer job opportunities there.Moreover, the 1994 and 2000 census data showed that Northern Namoneas and Southern Namoneas had higher rates ofparticipation than the state average in both census years. Across the regions, the levels at which the participation ratepeaked between ages groupings: 35 to 39, 40 to 44 and 45 to 49.Table 9.5: Labor Force Participation Rates in the Labor Force by Age Group and Region, <strong>Chuuk</strong> <strong>State</strong>: 1994 and 20001994 2000Age groups Total N.
