noname [10]

Answer:

unemployed workers as a percentage of the labor force

Explanation:

The level of unemployment refers to the proportion of the unemployed population, measured as a statistic. This is a stagnating predictor, which means this normally grows or drops in the face of shifting economic circumstances instead of predicting them.
