Respuesta :

Answer:

labor force = 40+20+10 = 70

So option (c) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that the population of Ectenia = 100

In which 40 works for full time

20 work for half time but they would prefer to work full time

10 are looking for a job

10 are not interested because they are full time student

10 are retired

We have to find the labor force

Labor force will be equal to the sum of labor who are either full time working or want to do full time work or who are looking for a job

So labor force = 40+20+10 = 70

So option (c) is correct option
