Answer: A. The unemployment rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people as percentage of the total labor force of an area or a country.

The percentage is composed by people without a job, people that are available to work, and people that was activist searching for a job in the last four weeks.

Unemployed people that is available to work, but is not searching for a job (for example: university students) are not counted.
