D) 475 million

Explanation:

Unemployment is the people who is not currently working and searching for the job. These are the part of Labor force. So unemployment rate is as follows:

Unemployed Worker = 19 million

Unemployment rate = 4%

Unemployment rate = Unemployed worker / Labor force

4% = 19 million / Labor Force

Labor Force = 19 million / 4%

Labor Force = 475 million
