Stacey - as I understand, Labour market participation rates measure the proportion of a population considered to be either working or actively searching for a job. This is equivalent to "economically active" as used with UK statistics.

You can get counts and percentages of economically active from the reports available under the summary statistics heading on out homepage - simply choose the report which matches the geographic level you want.
