The labor force that can be depicted from the information about the people will be 36.

<h3>How to calculate the labor force</h3>

The labor force will be:

= 25 + 8 + 3

= 36

The unemployment rate will be:

= Unemployed/Labor force × 100

= 3/36 × 100

= 8.33%

The participation rate will be:

= Labor force/Adult population × 100

= 36/(80 - 16) × 100

= 56.25%
