Question

using the table above, the number of people in the labor force is
165 million.
145 million.
185 million.
175 million.
195 million.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for labor force

Labor force = Employed + Unemployed. Employed includes full - time and part - time workers. Unemployed is the number of people looking for work in the past 4 weeks.

Step2: Calculate the number of employed

Employed = Part - time workers+Full - time workers. So, \(20 + 145=165\) (millions).

Step3: Calculate the labor force

Labor force=Employed + Unemployed. Unemployed = 10 (millions). Then \(165+10 = 175\) (millions).

Answer:

175 million.
