Answer to Problem 69E

The required unemployment rates for each level are 0.0852, 0.0523, 0.0425 and 0.0272.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The data:

    Highest educationTotal populationIn labor forceEmployed
    Didn’t finish high school27,66912,47011,408
    High school but no college59,86037,83435,857
    Less than bachelor’s degree47,55634,43932,977
    College graduate51,58240,39039,293

Calculation:

To find the unemployment rate for each level, divide the difference between ‘in labor force’ and ‘employed’ by the ‘in labor force’ from the data.

Unemployment rate for people who didn’t finish high school =124701140812470=1062124700.0852

Unemployment rate for people who did high school but no college =378343585737834=1977378340.0523

Unemployment rate for people which have less than bachelor’s degree =344393297734439=1462344390.0425

Unemployment rate of people which are college graduates =403903929340390=1097403900.0272

It is seen that if highest education is higher, then the unemployment rate becomes lower.

Hence, the required unemployment rates for each level are 0.0852, 0.0523, 0.0425 and 0.0272.
