Data for an economy show that the unemployment rate is 6 percent, the participation rate 60 percent, and 200 million people 16 years or older are not in the labor force. How many people are employed in this economy? A. 300 million B. 30 million C. 188 million D. 282 million

282 million

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is 6 %

the labor participation rate is 60%

200million are not in the labor force.

If 60 % is the participation rate and 200m m are not in the labor force, then 40% is not the labor force.

Therefore, 40% is equal to 200m

40% = 200m

100 % will be  200/40 X 100

=5 X 100 =500m

total population is 500 million

60% participation, is the labor force

60% of 500 million

=60/100 x 500

=300 million is the labor force.

Unemployment rate = unemployed people /labor x 100

employed people will labor force - unemployed people

= 6/100 x 300

=18million

employed people

=300 million -18 million

=282 million
