Answer:
The percentage of adults who are not in the labor force is 21%
Explanation:
Labor Force = Number of Employed + Number of Unemployed
Labor Force = 122 million + 17 million
Labor Force = 139 million
Total adults in economy = 175 million
Adults not in labor force = Total adults in economy - Adults as labor force in economy
Adults not in labor force = 175 million - 139 million
Adults not in labor force = 36 million
Adults not in labor force ( percentage ) = ( 36 million / 175 million ) x 100
Adults not in labor force ( percentage ) = 0.2057 x 100
Adults not in labor force ( percentage ) = 20.57%
Adults not in labor force ( percentage ) = 21%
