Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Unemployment rate = (Unemployed / Labour force) × 100, so use the labour force and unemployed figures.

1) Relevant concepts
- Unemployment rate measures the share of the labour force that is unemployed.
- Formula: unemployment rate = (number of unemployed people ÷ labour force) × 100.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- From the table: Unemployed = 1,800,000; Labour force = 18,650,000.
- Compute the ratio: 1,800,000 ÷ 18,650,000.

3) Intermediate calculations
- 1,800,000 / 18,650,000 = 1.8 ÷ 18.65 = 0.09651475 (decimal form).
- Convert to percent: 0.09651475 × 100 = 9.651475%.
- Round to two decimal places (typical for percentages): 9.65%.

4) Why this answer is correct
- The unemployment rate must use the labour force as the denominator, and the calculation above follows the standard definition precisely, yielding 9.65%.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- b. 6.1% corresponds to 1,800,000 ÷ 29,500,000 = 0.0610169 → 6.10%, which would be the share of the working‑age population that is unemployed, not the unemployment rate (wrong denominator).
- c. 6.32% does not match the correct formula with any of the given denominators and is not derivable from the provided labour force and unemployed figures.
- d. Indeterminate is incorrect because the table provides both unemployed and labour force figures, which are sufficient to compute the unemployment rate.

6) Conclusion
The correct unemployment rate calculated from the table is 9.65%, which matches option a.
