<h3>In the given scenario unemployment rate is 10%
</h3>
Explanation:
In the given problem,
Number of People who are working is 90,000
Number of People who are not working but looking and available is 10,000
Unemployment rate = Percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively looking for employment and ready to work.
