Population - 50,000

Students not looking for work - 1,000
To calculate Boone's unemployment rate you'll use the formula:
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Those that fall into the unemployment category are those that are not working but are actively looking/wanting to work. Students, stay-at-home moms etc that are not wanting to work, though unemployed, to not fall into this category.
The labor force is made up of everyone willing and able to work.
First, let's subtract the students who are not looking for work from the population so get the labor force. 50,000 - 1,000 = 49,000 (labor force)
Next, to get the number of people unemployed let us subtract the labor force of 49,000 by those already employed of 45,000. 49,000 - 45,000 = 4,000
Finally, we are able to calculate the unemployment rate of Boone.
Unemployment rate = number of people unemployed / labor force
Unemployment rate = 4,000/49,000= .081 multiply by 100 to get the percentage. 8.1%
Unemployment rate of Boone is 8.1%
