Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

a) The labor force is the sum of the number of people employed plus the number of unemployed. So the number of people unemployed is the labor force minus the number of employed: 146.8 - 138.0 = 8.8 million.
b) The number of people who are not in the labor force is the difference between the working age population and the labor force: 222.0 - 146.8 = 75.2 million.
c) The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force: (8.8/146.8 )  100 = 6.0 percent.
d) The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the working-age population who are in the labor force: (146.8/222.0 )  100 = 66.1 percent.
