2 pts
suppose that the adult population in the country of atlantis is 140 million. if 90 million people are employed and 10 million are unemployed,
then
40 million are not in the labor force.
80 million are not in the labor force.
40 million are in the labor force.
130 million are in the labor force.
previous

Explanation:

Step1: Recall labor force formula

Labor Force = Employed + Unemployed.
Employed = 90 million, Unemployed = 10 million, so Labor Force = \( 90 + 10 = 100 \) million.

Step2: Calculate not in labor force

Adult Population = Labor Force + Not in Labor Force.
Adult Population = 140 million, so Not in Labor Force = \( 140 - 100 = 40 \) million.

Step3: Evaluate options

• 40 million not in labor force: Matches calculation.
• 80 million not in labor force: Incorrect (140 - 100 ≠ 80).
• 40 million in labor force: Incorrect (Labor Force = 100).
• 130 million in labor force: Incorrect (100 ≠ 130).

Answer:

A. 40 million are not in the labor force.
