Economics Aug 13, 2020

Assume adult males have a 47% share of the work force and their unemployment rate

is 8.6%, adult females have a share of 45% and their unemployment rate is 8.4%, and

teenagers have a share of 8% and their unemployment rate is 21%. Approximately what

is the overall unemployment rate?

Expert Solution

Assume,

Total workforce is 100 people

So,

Adult males= 100* 47%

= 47

Unemployment rate=47* 8.6%

= 4.04%

 

Adult Females= 100* 45%

= 45

Unemployment rate= 45* 8.4%

= 3.78%

 

Teenagers= 100* 8%

= 8

Unemployment rate= 8* 21%

= 1.68%

 

Total Unemployment rate= 4.04%+ 3.78%+ 1.68%

= 9.5%
