a. Total Labor force is the sum total of people who are employed and those who are actively looking for work. The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines actively looking for work as looking for work int he past 4 weeks.
= Part-time workers + full time workers + those who looked for work in the past 2 weeks + those who looked for work in the past 2 - 4 weeks
= 4.9 million + 14.53 million + 2.90 million + 1.72 million
= 24.05 million
b. labor force participation rate is the percentage of a country's non-institutionalized working age population that are actively looking for work. Its formula =
X 100
Laborland's labor force participation rate (%) =
X 100
