Respuesta :

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

unemployment rate = unemployed people / total labor force

The total labor force = 100 million

The unemployed people can be calculated substracting the people who are employed full time and part time from the total labor force

unemployed people = 100 – 80 – 16 = 4

unemployment rate = 4 / 100

unemployment rate = 0.04 = 4%
