A. Calculate the unemployment rate in May.
B. Assuming that the 1000 graduates have not found jobs by June, what is the unemployment rate in June?
C. Assuming that the 1000 graduates do find jobs by June, what is the unemployment rate in June?
Homework Answers
a)
Unemployment rate = Unemployed / Labor Force.
= 6000 /80 000
= 7.5
b)
Discouraged workers are not part of labor force. but another 1000 are added to labor force, so there will not be any change to unemployment ratio:
Unemployment rate = (6000 -1000 +1000) / 80 000 - 1000 - 1000
= 7.5 %
c)
Unemployment rate = 5000/80000
= 6.25 %
