Answer:

Experiencing flow

Explanation:

In psychology, flow refers to a mental state where a person becomes extremely and deeply focused in an activity. This state of flow can lead to a person being so engrossed and absorbed by said activity that they can lose track of time and space.

First described by psychology researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, researchers say that flow is a consequence of the practical limits of our brains: we can only focus on so much information at a time, and thus we discriminate what information is more important at any given moment, in order to focus our attention on it. When we enter a state of flow, we become so engrossed by whatever we're doing, that our brains focus only on the activity that we're engaged in, discarding any other information that is not deemed relevant. This means ignoring the passage of time, losing sense of space, and even ignoring basic physiological needs, like hunger or sleep. This is the case of Nancy: she's so absorbed by her graphical design job that she loses track of time. This is a typical example of a mental state of flow.

In 2016 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there were 62.2 million people over age 25 whose highest level of education
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

labor-force participation rate = 57 %

            Unemployment rate  = 5.1 %

Explanation:

Given :

Adult population = 62.2 million

Employed population = 33.7 million

Unemployed population = 1.8 million

Therefore labor force can be calculated by =  ( Employed population + Unemployed population )

                                                                       = 33.7 + 1.8

                                                                       = 35.5 million

Thus  labor-force participation rate = ( Labor Force / Adult Population ) x 100

                                                          = ( 35.5 / 62.2 ) x 100

                                                          = 57.07

                                                          ~ 57 percent

Now,

Unemployment rate = ( Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100

                                 = ( 1.8 / 35.5 ) x 100

                                 = ( 1.8 / 35.5 ) x 100

                                 =  5.07

                                 ~ 5.1

Therefore, labor-force participation rate = 57 %

                  Unemployment rate  = 5.1 %
