Problem 05-10 (algo)
The following is a report from a BLS survey taker:
There were 115 people in the houses I visited. 30 of them were children under the age of 16, 25 people had full-time
jobs, and 15 had part-time jobs. There were 10 retirees, 5 full-time homemakers, 14 full-time students over age 16,
and 3 people who were disabled and cannot work. The remaining people did not have jobs, but all said they would
like one. 10 of these people had not looked actively for work for three months, however.
Find the labor force, the unemployment rate, and the participation rate implied by the survey taker's report.
