Answer:
a. 244,662,000
b. 155,654,000
c. 63.62%
d. 7.92%
Explanation:
a. the adult population
Adult population = Number of employed + Number of unemployed + Number of people not included in labor force
= 143,322,000 + 12,332,000 + 89,008,000
= 244,662,000
b. the labor force
Labor force = Number of employed + Number of unemployed
= 143,322,000 + 12,332,000
= 155,654,000
c. the labor-force participation rate
Labor-force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Adult population × 100
= 155,654,000 ÷ 244,662,000 × 100
= 63.62%
d. the unemployment rate
Unemployment rate = Number of unemployed ÷ Labor force × 100
= 12,332,000 ÷ 155,654,000 × 100
= 7.92%
