Answer:
The unemployment rate is 42.85.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the unemployment rate is:
Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed People / Total Labor) x 100 -- (1)
where total labor is the sum of the unemployed people and employed people.
Unemployed People = 10 Retired persons + 5 stay-at home parents + 10 persons with no job + 5 persons who wanted job
Unemployed People = 30
Labor Force = Employed people + Unemployed people
Labor Force = 40 + 30
Labor Force = 70
Putting the values in equation 1,
Unemployment Rate = ( 30/ 70) x 100
Unemployment Rate = 42.85
