the percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed
To calculate the unemployment rate, divide the number of unemployed individuals by the total labor force and multiply by 100. If 9 million people are unemployed and the total labor force is, for example, 150 million, the unemployment rate would be 6%.
Yes, it is possible. The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the number of people in the labor force. The labor force does not include people who are not actively looking for work because they are discouraged by the job market. If over the month, some of the unemployed get jobs, and some of those who were discouraged rejoin the labor force so that they get counted in the "unemployed", employment would go up and the unemployment rate could go up. It would depend on the net effect on the "unemployed" group - if there are more people who rejoin the labor force than those who move from "unemployed" to "employed" then the unemployment rate would go up while employment also increases.
The South American country of Peru qualifies as such. It has an unemployment rate of only 3.6% of its labor force (2014 est).
Haiti qualifies as such. This Caribbean country suffers an unemployment rate of over 40.6% of its labor force (2014 est).
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the total labor force and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. First, we find the number of unemployed individuals: Labor force (160,000) minus Employed (150,000) equals 10,000 unemployed. Therefore, the unemployment rate is (10,000 / 160,000) × 100, which equals 6.25%.
