If you mean employment rate, then it is employment/labor force.

the participation rate is the labor force/non-institutionalized population over 16, I believe.

A participation rate generally implies that what the data is explaining is overall how many people are working out of an entire population.

Labor force participation rate= (number of people in the labor force) divided by total adult population

note adult population in the work force is considered to start at age 15

number of people in the work force is the sum of unemployed and employed adults

How many people in Nevada state are employed?

The unemployment rate only counts those who have filed and "qualify" for unemployment benefits. After a certain duration, unemployed people are cut off from these unemployment benefits. The employed population is much less than 87% in Nevada. Some sources claim that less than 50% of people within the working age have jobs in the United States. "Unemployment" and those who are not employed are two very different categories.

What is a true unemployment rate?

I assume you are referring to the fact that the unemployment rate reported by the government is the amount of people who are looking for jobs but unable to find them and suggesting that the "real" unemployment rate is how many people actually are not working. There are actually a few different measures for this, which are displayed neatly in a few graphs on the link I'm attaching. No one can say what the "real" unemployment rate is, mainly because of the way the unemployment rate is really calculated. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the American people who are drawing unemployment insurance. It doesn't include people whose unemployment insurance has run out, people who have removed themselves voluntarily from the employment pool (stay at home mothers, people living on trust funds, etc.) and people who haven't ever been employed. A rough estimate is to take the "unemployment rate" and double it.
