Answer #1

labor force = total employed persons + unemployed persons.

unemployment rate = total unemployed persons / labor force. * 100

in year 2011 - labor force = 69997 +3572 = 73569

unemployment rate in 2011 = 3572 / 73569 * 100 = 4.85%

simililary, from using the above formula and concept.

unemployment rate in 2012 = 3730 / 73857 * 100 = 5.05%

unemployment rate in 2013 = 3510 / 73949 *100 = 4.74%

unemployment rate in 2014 = 3595 / 74228 *100 = 4.84%

unemployment rate in 2015 = 3432 / 74466*100 = 4.6%
