Number Number Number Suppose 266 of the 452 unemployed people have been unemployed for so long, they stop looking for work What is the new labor force? What is the new labor force participation rate? What is the new unemployment rate? Number Number NumberExplanation / Answer
Total Labor force = Employed + unemployed = 4957
Labor force participation rate = labor force / adult population * 100
Adult population = Labor force + not in Labor force = 4957 + 551 = 5508
= 4957 / 5508 * 100 = 89.99 or 90 per cent
Unemployment rate = Unemployed / labor force * 100
= 452 / 4957 * 100 =9.2 per cent
One who is not actively looking for work is considered out of the labor force. So, we deduct 266 from 452 to get the unemployed people = 186
Not in the labor force = 551 + 266 = 817
New labor force = 4505 + 186 = 4691
New labor force participation rate = 4691 / 5508 * 100 = 85. 16 per cent
New unemployment rate = 186 / 4691 * 100 = 3.9 or around 4 per cent.
