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 %

leva [86]

Americans began to rethink the nation's environmental policies partly as a result of the oil embargo.

When the members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries, led by Saudi Arabia, declared an oil embargo in October 1973, the 1973 oil crisis—also known as the first oil crisis—began. Targets of the embargo were countries that had backed Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Moreover, they also imposed an embargo on the US in retaliation for its decision to resupply the Israeli military and to use this as leverage in the peace talks following the war. The 1979 oil crisis, also referred to as the Second Oil Crisis or the 1979 Oil Shock, was an energy crisis brought on by a decline in oil production following the Iranian Revolution.
