i. Number of employed = 140.57 million

ii. Number unemployed = 14.51 million

iii. Adult population = 235.45 million

= 155.08 million

b)

Number of people not in the labor force = Adult population - Labor force

= 235.45 million - 155.08 million

= 80.37 million

c)

Labor force participation rate
