Question

Labor Picture

Answer 1

Answer:

  9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The table tells you numbers who "want" a job. The question asks you for numbers "looking for a job". Those may be different things. The question cannot be answered from the table, unless you make the assumption that those wanting a job are actually looking for a job.

  total looking = (working and looking) + (not working and looking)

  = 5.2 million + 4.7 million

  = 9.9 million . . . . looking for a job
