THE OFFICIAL
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

2. BIG QUESTION
• How is the Labor Force calculated?
• This icon means DEVICES MUST BE POWERED OFF…and
placed in the upper-right-hand corner of your desk…upside
down.
• This icon means DEVICES MAY BE USED WITH MY
PERMISSION
• This icon means DEVICES MAY BE POWERED and placed in
the upper-right hand corner of your desk

3. OFFICIAL UNEMPLOYMENT (U3)
• Labor Force= # of employed + # of unemployed
• Labor force does not include
1. Stay-at-home parents
2. Full-time students (not looking for work)
3. Retirees
• MAIN Point: If you are unemployed AND stop LOOKING
for work…
…You drop out of the labor force

4. QUICK EXAMPLE
Obamastan
Population 700
Part-time Workers 100
Full-time Workers 300
Unemployed 50
Labor Force 450 =(100+300+50)
