Answer:

D. 59.6% and 3.5%

Explanation:

Given the above information,

•We can calculate labor force participation rate to be;

Labor force participation rate = (Labor force / Population ) × 100

= (66,000,000 / 110,700,000) × 100

= 59.6 %

• We can also calculate unemployment rate to be;

Unemployment rate = [(Labor force - Number of people employed) / Labor force ] × 100

= [(66,000,000 - 63,700,000) / 66,000,000 ] × 100

= [ 2,300,000 / 66,000,000 ] × 100

= 3.5%
