Unemployment Rate The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the population aged 16 or older that is in the labor force. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the total number of people in the labor force who are unemployed. Section 3 | Module 12

The Significance of the Unemployment Rate The unemployment rate can overstate the true level of unemployment while people who are easily employed look for the right job. Section 3 | Module 12

The Significance of the Unemployment Rate The unemployment rate can be understated by not including. Discouraged workers are nonworking people who are capable of working but have given up looking for a job given the state of the job market. Marginally attached workers would like to be employed and have looked for a job in the recent past but are not currently looking for work. Underemployment is the number of people who work part time because they cannot find full-time jobs. Section 3 | Module 12

Summary Employment is the number of people employed. Unemployment is the number of people unemployed and actively looking for work. The sum of employment and unemployment is equal to the labor force. The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the population age 16 or older that is in the labor force. The unemployment rate can overstate because it counts as unemployed those who are continuing to search for a job despite having been offered one. The unemployment rate can understate because it ignores frustrated workers, such as discouraged workers, marginally attached workers, and the underemployed. Section 3 | Module 12
