Respuesta :

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

Number of Persons in the Household = 90

Neither Employed Nor Unemployed

  • Children Under 16 =10
  • Disabled = 5
  • Retired =10
  • Stay at Home Parents = 5
  • Full Time Students over the age of 16= 5

Total =35

Unemployed

  • 10 people had no job but were looking for jobs
  • 5 people who wanted a job but were not looking for a job.
  • Total =15

Employed

  • 35 people had full-time jobs
  • 5 had part-time jobs

Total =35+5=40

Total Labour Force = Unemployed +Employed = 40+15 =55

Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed People / Total Labor) x 100

=15/55 X 100

=27%

According to the information in the survey, the unemployment rate is: 27%
