Unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is actively seeking work but has not found one. It is calculated as follows: [tex]\frac{ Number of Unemployed }{Labor Force}[/tex] X 100
2. To be counted as unemployed during a survey, the person must have actively looked for work at some time during the previous four weeks and has been unable to find work, been available to work in the previous week and must not have worked in the previous week.
