Question

When in a nation of 150 million workers, 24 million are unemployed, that is?

Answer 1

If 24 million out 150 million workers are unemployed, then 16% of the workforce is unemployed. You find this number by dividing 24 by 150 and multiplying it by 100. On the other hand, 84% of the workforce is employed. You can find this number by subtracting the percent of unemployed people (16) from 100.
