Answer: 30.1%

Explanation:

The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.

The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is <u>able</u> and <u>willing</u> to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.

Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed

= 93 people

Unemployment rate:

= 28 / 93 * 100

= 30.1%

Over [174]

option A, James, who always makes the minimum payment each month. Paying only the minimum on credit cards could result in increased finance costs and longer-term debt accumulation.

<h3>What consequences result from merely making the minimum credit card payment?</h3>

It will take you a lot longer to pay off your credit card bills, occasionally by a factor of several years, and your credit card issuers will keep charging you interest until your amount is paid in full if you merely make the minimum payment.

<h3>Why does making minimal payments result in debt payback over the long term?</h3>

You Fork Over Much More in Interest. Frequently, the minimum payment necessary just covers the interest owed (or slightly more), so you won't be able to pay off the principal in a reasonable amount of time.
