    1) What is the size of Labor force

    ?

    60 people are full time employed + 20 people who are part-time employed + 20 people who are unemployed = 100 people

    2) What is the Unemployment rate?

    20 people who are unemployed / 100 people = 0.2 or 20%

    the unemployment rate includes only those people who do not have a job but are willing and able to work, and are currently looking for one.
