    5%

    Explanation:

    Firstly, the size of the labor force is 95 + 5 = 100 million people. (NOTE - People that are younger than 16 or not actively looking for a job do not count as labor force).

    The people who count as unemployed are the noted 5 million.

    The unemployment rate is calculated:

    unemployment rate = unemployed / civilian labor force

    which is in the example - > 5/100 = 0.05 - > 5%
