Between 1830 and 1850, the nation's labor force shifted from predominantly agricultural to increasingly industrial. The industrial revolution during this period led to the growth of factories and urban areas, attracting workers away from farms to cities. This shift in employment patterns resulted in increased demand for labor in manufacturing and urban industries.
The Department of Labor statistics seem to break down as follows: Total employed are just that, employed persons 16 years and older. The civilian work force includes unemployed and employed persons, ages 16 and older.
When you subtract the labor force from the work force, you would be left with individuals who are not part of either group. The labor force consists of people actively seeking employment, while the work force includes both employed and unemployed individuals.
Using interchangeable parts allowed for the mass production of goods, increasing demand for unskilled laborers to operate machines and assemble products. This shift in labor force composition led to the decline of skilled craftsmen and the rise of factory workers in manufacturing industries.
The labor force in America has changed due to various factors such as technological advancements, globalization, shifts in industries from manufacturing to services, changing demographics, and evolving work preferences among individuals. These factors have influenced the types of jobs available, the skills required, and the overall composition of the workforce in the country.
An increase in the labor force can lead to higher productivity levels and economic growth. However, if there is a surplus of labor relative to available jobs, it can result in unemployment and downward pressure on wages. Conversely, a shortage of labor can lead to labor shortages, wage inflation, and potential bottlenecking of economic activity.
The costs of the transportation of the raw materials and finished product to and from the country are balanced and exceeded by the savings in labor. Most industrialized nations have laws and unions that force companies to pay high minimum wages, while undeveloped nations, or developing nations, do not have these laws which allow foreign corporations to use their labor force at much lower costs then their own national labor forces.

Most politicians seriously doubt that among the few communist nations left in the world force people to work. Working is natural and a way to make a living.
