The unemployment rate in this population is 12%

First of all we have to find the total labour force in this country

Children less than 18 + people in the military + people in jail + retirees + marginally attached workers + full time students

= 50million + 15million + 30 million + 10 million + 30 million + 20

= 155 million

Labor force = 280million - 155 million

= 125 million

In this population those working full time and part time are the number of those that are employed.

= 30 million + 80 million

= 110 million

The unemployed = 125 million - 110 million

= 15million

The unemployment rate =

[tex]\frac{Unemployed}{LaborForce} \\=\frac{15}{125}[/tex]

= 0.12

The unemployment rate = 12%
