Answer:

8.3%

Explanation:

The rate of unemployment is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the total labor force multiplied by 100.

i.e., unemployment rate = unemployed/ labor force x 100.

the labor force = employed people + unemployed people

For Utopia, labor force is 55 + 5 = 60

Unemployment rate

= 5/60 x 100

=0.0833 x 100

=8.3%
