Work Step by Step
143,322,000 employed
12,332,000 unemployed
89,008,000 not in labor force
We want the population, labor force, labor force participation rate, and the unemployment rate.
Adult population = employed + unemployed + not in labor force
$A = 143322000+ 12332000+ 89008000$
$A = 244662000$
Labor force = employed + unemployed
$L = 143322000+ 12332000$
$L = 155654000$
Labor force participation rate = labor force / population *100
$F = 155654000/244662000*100$
$F = 155654/244662 * 100$
$F = .6362 * 100$
$F = 63.62$%
Unemployment rate = unemployed / labor force * 100
$UE = 12332000/155654000 * 100$
$UE = .079227 * 100$
$UE = 7.92$%
