= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100
= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100
= 9.64%
Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent
