Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Employment: 142,673

Unemployment: 7,509

labor Force: 150,182

Working:

Working-Age Population: 227,204

Labor Force Participation Rate: 66.1%

Labor force = (227,204 * 66.1) / 100 = 150,182

Unemployed = (Labor force * Unemployment rate)/100

= (150,182 * 5)/100

= 7,509

?

Employed = (Labor force - Unemployed Employed)

= (150,182 - 7,509)

= 142,673
