question b please thank you
Use the following data to calculate the unemployment rate. and answer the questions below total adult population = 256,436 persons under 16 = 75,126 total U.S. population = 332,568 # people working= 162,128 retirees = 85,745 total labor force = 172,476 discouraged workers = 15,546 part-time employed = 23,854 1. What is the unemployment rate? 2. Calculate an alternative measure of unemployment by counting discouraged workers as unemployed and counting part time employed as 1/2 employed and 1/2 unemployed. 3. Discuss under what conditions in the labor market it might be more accurate to use one method versus the other.
1. The table below reports the unemployment rate, labor force participation rate, and (working-age) population for the United States in January 2008, 2011, and 2016. Using the data, answer the following questions. a) What was the size of the labor force at the start of each year? b) How many people were officially unemployed at the start of each year? c) What about these numbers may cause some concern even though the unemployment rate to start 2016 was a notch below the unemployment rate in 2008 as the economy was entering the Great Recession?

This is a graph of 3 measures of unemployment from the period just before the great recession to just before the covid 19 recession The red line, is the unemployment rate including discourage workers and workers marginally attached to the labor force. The Blue line is the unemployment rate as measured by the BLS The Green line is the Natural rate of unemployment, the target rate, the NAIRU. The gray bar represents the recession of 2008, and the subsequent recovery of the economy afterwards. This was evidenced by a gradual increase in GDP. Is the pattern of all 3 series what you would expect in terms of the behavior of all 3. Provide reasons for your answers.Your answer should include reference to AD/AS or the AE model.

Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. The table below shows unemployment and labor force statistics for an economy. Actual rate of unemployment 3% Natural rate of unemployment 4% Population of the country 125 million Number of people employed 97 million Number of people unemployed 3 million Number of people employed part time 5 million Number of discouraged workers 2 million (c) Given the state of the economy described in the table, is actual real output less than, greater than, or equal to potential real output? Explain. (d) Calculate what the cyclical unemployment rate would be if the actual rate of unemployment increased to 5 percent. Show your work.

Compute the labor force participation rate and the official unemployment rate, respectively. Show your work. b. Suppose that 2 million jobless people (i.e., unemployed) suddenly quit looking for a job. How does it affect the labor force participation rate and the official unemployment rate (U-3)?
