Question

Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.

Answer 1

False, the labor forced increased

Step-by-step explanation:

labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)

lets say L = the total labor force in 2010

by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million

net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.
