Answer to Question 1

The definition of the unemployment rate is (number of unemployed)/(labor force)  100. In this calculation, the labor force equals the sum of employed plus unemployed people. Part-time workers are counted as employed. Thus part-time workers are counted in the labor force but are NOT counted as unemployed. Discouraged workers are people who have stopped looking for work and so are not in the labor force. Hence, when calculating the unemployment rate, discouraged workers are counted in neither the number of unemployed nor in the labor force.

Answer to Question 2

B
