1) Unemployment rate = unemployment / labor force = 4*100/(40 + 4) = 9.09%.
Employment population ratio = 40*100/48 = 83.33%.
Option D is correct
2) Option B. Actual unemployment rate is less than its full employment and real GDP is greater than its full
employment level during expansion.

In a country with a working-age population of 22 million, 18 million are employed, 2 million are unemployed, and 1 million of the employed are working part-time, half of whom wish to work full-time. If 500,000 of the unemployed are cyclically unemployed, what is the natural unemployment rate? Question 7 options: A) 7.5 percent B) 5.6 percent C) 8.3 percent D) 10.0 percent E) 2.5 percent
Suppose that the population over age 16 (adult population) is 150 million and the number of discouraged workers is 5 million. Moreover, in the month of November 2019, the number of people with full-time jobs was 70 million, and the number of people with part-time jobs was 5 million. If the labour force was 90 million, then calculate values of the following variables. (a). Unemployment rate in November 2019. (b). Labour force participation rate in November 2019.
Suppose the economy has a population of 40 million people and a labor force participation rate of 50%. Furthermore, suppose the natural rate of unemployment in the economy is 7%. If the current number of unemployed people is 3 million people, what is the rate of cyclical unemployment rate? Answer: % Your Answer:

A country has a total civilian population of 400 million, of which 300 million are over age 16. Of this population, 225 million are employed, 25 million are unemployed, and the remainder of the population is not in the labor force. Then, the unemployment rate is [Select] 9, the employment- population ratio is [Select ] , and the labor force participation rate (labor force divided by the civilian working-age population) is [Select]
