In: Economics
Given:
Total Pop = 1200
Military pop = 30
Pop aged 15 or younger = 240
Institutional pop = 45
Employed = 680
Not in the labor force = 180
The labor force participation rate = ___%.
Select one:
A. 76.66
B. 77.66
C. 78.66
D. 79.66
total civilian non institutionalized population = Total Pop - military pop - Pop aged 15 or younger - Institutional pop
= 1200 - 30 - 240 - 45 = 885
Total labor force = total civilian non institutionalized population - not in labor force = 885 - 180 = 705
Labor force participation rate = (Total labor force / total civilian non institutionalized population)*100
= (705/885)*100
= 79.66%
Thus, the answer is (d)
