Patkeenan and Giristide only missed one question (#4). Everyone else got them all. Nice job all! Answers below: 1) A number of Unemployed divided by labor force 2) C labor force divided by working age population 3) C number of employed/ working-age population 4) A 16 years old or older not living in institution 5) C Unemployed or employed actively seeking jobs

My answers were A,C,A,A,C So I got #3 wrong…after looking at the question again it makes sense why instead of using the general labor force, you use the statistic which represents all those able to work. Good set Damil4Real, thanks!!!
