Answer:

The answer is: U / (E + U)

Step-by-step explanation:

The unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed workers in the total labor force. To be considered unemployed, a person must not have a job but is willing and able to take one. The total labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed workers.

Unemployment rate = U / (E + U)
