Soluton

a) Between 2005 and 2014, by how much did a. The labor force change?

The way to answer this question is to consider the labour force in 2014 and then compare it to the labour force in 2005

Labour force in 2014 = 155,922,000

Labour force in 2005  =149,320,000

It means the change in labour force = 155,922,000 - 149,320,000 =

6,602,000 or apporximately 6602.0 million

b) Change in Unemployment

The Unemployment figure for 2014 is 9,617,000

The figure for 2005 = 7,591,000

= 9,617,000-7,591,000 = 2,026,000 or 2,026.0 million

C) Change in Employment

To calculate this figure, we use the folliwng formula

Employed in 2014 = The labour of 2014 - the unemployed in 2014

Employed in 2005 = The labour of 2005 - the unemployed in 2005

Empoyed in 2014 = 155,922,000- 9,617,000 = 146,305,000‬

Employed in 2005  = 149,320,000- 7,591,000 = 141,729,000

= 146,305,000 - 141,729, 000 = 4,576,000 or 4,576.0 million
