Answer: = 5.10%
Explanation:
The unemployment rate includes only those who do not have a job but are actively searching for one. People working part time are considered employed when calculating the unemployment rate.
In this case, only the 8 million jobless people looking for jobs will be classified as unemployed.
Unemployment rate = Number of unemployed / Number of people in labor force * 100%
= 8,000,000 / 157,000,000 * 100%
= 5.10%
