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%

Answer:

It should be greater than $36

The opportunity cost of working is the amount of money sacrificed or could have earned if the individual was not working. In this case, Claire has decided to go with her friend which means that the opportunity cost of not working is less than the benefits receives from going out. Because she is not working it means that the opportunity cost of working is more than 36 dollars, which is the income she could have earned in 3 hours.
