Population = 50400
Labor force = Employed + Unemployed
Employed = 16650
Unemployed = 4000
Hence, the labor force = 16650 + 4000 = 20650
Unemployment rate = Unemployed/Labor force = 4000/20650 = 19.37%
Employment rate = Employed/Labor force = 16650/20650 = 80.63%
Participation rate = Labor force/Population of 15 years and over = 20650/50400 = 40.97%
