1. Assume that a survey of households revealed that the non-institutional population 16 years and older is 250 million. Of that group, 100 million are working full-time and 50 million are working part-time. 15 million of the part-time workers said that they would prefer to be working full-time while the other 35 million prefer to be working part-time. Of the people who are not working, 11 million said that they want to work. All 11 million had either gone to a job interview or submitted a resume during the last year, but only 5 million had done so during the past month. Given this information, find the a. unemployment rate b. labor force participation rate c. u6 measure of labor utilization

The table above shows some pieces of information about the labor market condition in a country. It shows the number of workers demanded in the country at different levels of real wage. It also shows the labor force participation rates at those real wage levels. For example, if the real wage is 60, only 30% of the civilian population will participate in the labor force. If the real wage is 170, some 85% will participate in the labor force. The general price level in this country is P = 100. The civilian population in this country is 100 million persons.
