Answer:

19.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage in the labor force is the number of employed people as a percentage of the total population. Labor force or labor force participation rate included working and those seeking work.

In this case, the percentage in the labor force

=32,000,000/163,000,000 x 100

=32/163 x 100

=0.196319 x 100

=19.63%
